These systems can identify cardiac or pulmonary disease in patients with marginally abnormal diagnostics or in those who appear more clinically disabled than their diagnostic tests indicate. Collected data allows the clinician to assess a patient’s overall cardiopulmonary function. This can be useful in pre-operative risk assessment, the diagnosis of various cardiopulmonary diseases, the evaluation of post-operative recovery, or more general assessment of an individual’s exercise capacity. The test can provide a wealth of knowledge about both cardiac and pulmonary disease processes, while also aiding in the development of individualized therapy and rehabilitation programs. Somnoware is a provider of cloud-based software to streamline diagnostic testing workflows and care management in the sleep and respiratory care industry. Somnoware is provided to each VA site as part of a national rollout by the Office of Connected Care (OCC). However, the management of logistics for Cardiopulmonary diagnostic systems will be part of the National Equipment Catalog. This business arrangement has been coordinated with OCC.
