Respiratory Care Devices, particularly Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and asthma, have been on the rise globally, affecting millions of individuals and placing a significant burden on healthcare systems. With technological advancements, smart respiratory devices have emerged as a crucial tool in the effective management of these conditions. Respiratory Devices integrate digital technology to enhance monitoring, improve patient adherence, and provide real-time data for healthcare providers. The increasing demand for smart respiratory devices is driven by factors such as the growing prevalence of respiratory disorders, the need for remote monitoring, and advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.

The Growing Burden of COPD and Asthma

COPD and asthma are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), COPD is the third leading cause of death globally, with millions of people suffering from chronic respiratory symptoms. Asthma, on the…

Polycythemia vera (PV), a rare blood cancer characterized by the overproduction of red blood cells, has traditionally been managed with therapeutic phlebotomy and cytoreductive agents such as hydroxyurea. However, 2025 marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of PV treatment, as advances in targeted therapies are fundamentally transforming the clinical landscape. These novel approaches are not only enhancing disease control and improving patient outcomes, but also addressing the molecular drivers of the disease, offering hope for more personalized and durable treatments.

Understanding Polycythemia Vera and Its Challenges

Polycythemia vera  is classified as a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), a group of disorders that result in the excessive production of blood cells. The disease is largely driven by a mutation in the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) gene—specifically, the V617F mutation, which is present in approximately 95% of PV patients. This mutation leads to continuous activation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, promoting abnormal cell growth…
