Breathing problems follow people to work. Give employees with asthma, COPD or chronic cough the daily support a prescription alone cannot provide—and that follows them home. Personal insights, inhaler coaching, food guidance and progress employees can see—on their own phone, with a compatible smartwatch adding the inhaler coach. The aim is simple: fewer nights and workdays disturbed by breathing—and a benefit people keep using.

Cough counted
Inhaler coached
Food guidance
Progress they can see
Three conditions side by side. Diabetes and joints each have a program; breathing is a scatter of half-remembered moments that fade. Then those moments gather into a program of its own: cough counted, inhaler coached, food guidance and progress employees can see.
8.6%
of US adults had current asthma in 2024. In a 4,000-person workforce that is around 340 people—before COPD and chronic cough are counted. Asthma alone cost the US $81.9 billion in a single year (2013): $3,266 per person in medical costs and 8.7 million missed workdays (Nurmagambetov et al., Annals ATS, 2018).
of inhaler users use their inhaler correctly—in a 2016 review of 144 studies and 54,354 people. The other 69% made at least one error. Coaching on the wrist reaches them at the inhaler, not at the annual review.
Asthma and COPD don’t clock off. Give employees practical help with the routines that shape their breathing—at work and at home.
Respire LYF counts the cough, coaches the inhaler technique and reads ten everyday factors for each employee, then hands them one step at a time—on the phone they already carry. Employees keep their personal record; you receive the aggregate readout.

Group size, dates and measures are set with you, and the program grows with the results.
01
A participant experience
LYF gathers cough, inhaler use, watch measurements and local weather, pollen and air quality. Connected peak-flow readings sync too. Respiratory food ratings, personal insights and coaching help employees put the picture to use. LYF delivers automatic inhaler tracking and technique coaching through the smartwatch employees already wear—no smart inhaler or clip-on sensor.
02
Aggregate reporting
See how many employees started, kept using Respire LYF and found it useful; what they report about nights and workdays disturbed by their breathing, at the start and at the readout; and how much support the program required. Aggregate results only, with agreed privacy safeguards; employees’ personal health records stay out of employer reports.
03
An expansion decision
Find out whether employees use it, value it and put the guidance into practice. Weigh those results against the support required, then expand, refine or stop against the measures agreed at launch.
The benefit employees put to work

LYF does the repetitive logging, finds personal breathing patterns and coaches useful changes. Employees build healthier routines for better breathing; your team sees participation, usefulness and the support needed to expand.

From invitation to participation
Alaunchpeoplecanactuallyjoin.
01
Reach the right people
Name the benefits sponsor, eligible adult population and invitation channel. Agree participant support, privacy boundaries and the size of the first group before launch.
02
Make the first step clear
Give employees a clear invitation, help with setup and a simple first step. They choose to join, switch on cough capture and add meals and how they feel to personalize their insights.
03
Measure what happened
Agree operational and experience measures before launch. Receive an aggregate readout of invitations, opt-ins, activation, continued use and participant feedback. Review usefulness and delivery burden, then decide whether to expand, refine or stop.
Start on a phone. Add LYF’s inhaler intelligence on the wrist.
Every employee gets the full co-pilot on the phone they already own, iPhone or Android: cough counted for them, local weather and pollen, respiratory food ratings, their Breathing Fingerprint, plan and report. Employees with a compatible smartwatch add automatic inhaler logging, technique coaching and watch measurements; a connected smart peak-flow meter syncs its readings too. Nothing to distribute, nothing to recover.
A program built around your workforce. Scope, support, timing and fees are set out in your tailored proposal.

Privacy and security review
Encrypted connections, role-based access, cough audio processed on the phone and never stored, no data sold, and a business-associate agreement where your deployment needs one. Bring your security questionnaire to the first call; it is answered for your deployment while the program is scoped. Data & deployment →
Phone only, or with a smartwatch
The phone alone is a complete co-pilot. A compatible smartwatch adds automatic inhaler logging and technique coaching for pressurized metered-dose inhalers used without a spacer. What each participant gets →
