Routine Lung Function Screening in Primary, Pediatric, and Pulmonary Care
Across conversations with pediatric, primary, and pulmonology care teams, one point of consensus clearly emerges: Earlier detection matters, and diagnostic tools must seamlessly integrate into existing workflows to hold practical value, especially as routine lung function screening becomes the new standard.
Cognita Labs partners with forward-thinking clinics to help them evaluate routine lung function screening as a standard part of care. These collaborations generate measurable, real-world insights – not just about the technology, but about how earlier detection improves outcomes without disrupting workflows.
Clinical studies demonstrate the need for routine lung function screens:
- 1 in 4 patients with measurable airflow limitation had no prior diagnosis of a respiratory condition¹.
- Screening with oscillometry detected early changes even in asymptomatic patients – changes that spirometry often missed².
- A sub-60-second test, often completed during vitals, identified respiratory impairment in patients as young as 4³.
We’ve designed the barrier to entry for clinics to be extremely low, and the PulmoScan solution makes this shift in care delivery not only possible but simple.
Our calibration-free, sub-minute test integrates directly into vitals, requires minimal training, and delivers clear results instantly.
This empowers providers across specialties to detect respiratory impairment earlier, for treatment in-house, or specialist referral with progress monitoring between visits.
Our pilots are focused on four key areas:
- Workflow integration – Aligning screening with vitals collection and daily throughput.
- Clinical decision-making – Assessing how immediate results inform diagnosis and treatment for asthma, COPD, and other respiratory diseases.
- Patient and family engagement – Evaluating how quick, non-invasive screening improves trust, adherence, and follow-up among patients and their families.
- Implementation support – Identifying training, reporting, and follow-up processes that sustain long-term success for both patients and staff.
Participating Pilot Clinics Receive:
- Early access to a calibration-free device with results available before the provider enters the exam room.
- A shared data environment to inform both day-to-day care and broader care models.
- Guidance on implementation and reimbursement.
With PulmoScan, proactive respiratory care moves from concept to clinic in days, not years. As routine lung screening becomes the norm, respiratory care is shifting from reactive to proactive care models.
We’re inviting care teams ready to set a new standard in early lung disease detection to join this effort.
