Originally inspired to address environmental factors as a determinant of health, founder Eric Klos has spent more than 10,000 hours in the domain of environmental factors and allergies and asthma.
Along this path he has learned of the many gaps in allergy and asthma care that lead to an unacceptable rate of 30,000 asthma attacks every day in the US, 5000 of which lead to ER visits, of which result in inpatient hospital stays of 3-5 days, and tragically, 10 lost souls each day.
Not only that, but this vulnerable population of asthma sufferers is assaulted every day by exposure threats to their health and well-being. Often co-morbidities (COPD and cardiovascular disease) create an even higher risk of negative incidences associated with their exposures.
In this Knowledge section, we’ll focus on each of these gaps in allergy and asthma care and steps to bridge the gaps and to support better asthma care, reduce the asthma burden, and improve the overall quality of life for those with asthma and their caregivers.
