Product description

ZEPHYRx provides remote respiratory monitoring (RRM) solutions. It combines a cloud-based provider dashboard with real-time video coaching, a patient mobile app and MIR’s FDA-cleared Smart Spirometer, which are a cost-effective alternative to in-person pulmonary function testing. The home spirometer records FVC, FEV1, PEF, FEV1/FVC, FEV6, FEV25-75, FIVC, and returns Flow-Volume Loop as well as Time-Volume data. Both physicians and patients can see the results compared to GLI 2012 Predicted Values.

How we use ZEPHYRx at VA

ZEPHYRx uses remote patient monitoring that provides real-time results from the Veterans’ Pulmonary Function Tests. ZEPHYRx provides full test reports, the ability to monitor trends over time, built-in video call capabilities, and more.

No VA Data

For SaaS products that do not contain VA-owned data*, there is now an expedited process that does not require a traditional VA authority to operate (ATO). Criteria include the following:

  • User owns a device (even if VA paid for the purchase of the device) such as a CPAP or glucometer that uses a SaaS product to share patient data (non-VA data*).
  • SaaS product has no direct connections or interfaces to VA systems or network.
  • Users consent to share their data (which may include PII and PHI) directly with the SaaS provider.
  • SaaS providers must have published terms and conditions for user consent.
  • VA providers access data in a view-only mode or with limited functionality per the user’s consent.

*According to Circular a130, anything that VA creates, collects, processes, maintains, disseminates, or disposes of by or for the federal government is considered federal information (VA data).

VA providers may not enter any VA information into this product; it must adhere to no VA data standards mentioned above.
