WHY EXERCISE TESTING MATTERS

Exercise performance is the core of human health and accomplishment. It informs:

  • Athletic Achievement – enabling peak performance
  • Health and Well-being – maintaining physical activity and well-being
  • Impairment Due To Disease – facilitating clinical diagnosis
  • Treatment Responses – quantitate changes due to treatment interventions.

  • Understanding exercise capacity and identifying what limits performance are essential for fitness, sports, clinical and rehabilitation professionals alike.

    HOW WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE

    Interpreting exercise tests can be overwhelming – until now.

    Our novel software simplifies the analysis and interpretation of data from cardiopulmonary exercise testing for:

  • Athletes & Coaches – refining exercise programming through accurate physiological measurements
  • Research Scientists – ensuring quality measurements and thereby qualifying CPET variables for scientific studies
  • Clinicians – presenting data in a logical format to facilitate clinical diagnosis
  • Therapists – enabling rehabilitative strategies and accurate assessment of treatment interventions.

  • enhancedCPETanalytics is your partner in delivering expert analysis and empowering you to achieve improved outcomes.

    The values for key variables are determined by pattern recognition from breath-by-breath data. This methodology is robust and consistent from one test to another.

    Each test is examined for six quality criteria offering means of assigning confidence level in results, sometimes interpreting them with caution or, in extreme cases, rejecting.

    The physiological analysis is automated based on selected reference values and a novel decision tree. This sets a framework for the clinical interpretation.

    UNIQUE FEATURES

    The clinical Interpretation is a free text box allowing the interpreting physician to evaluate the results in clinical context.

    The report will save time processing the data and generating insights. It adds value for practioners by improving the consistency of their interpretations.

    The application demystifies vast amounts of data and empowers the end-user by providing a clear, scientifically sound and actionable information.

    TESTIMONIALS

    Sherman

    The Enhanced CPET Analytics report is useful and runs incredibly fast! It distills exercise data down to key variables presented in a clear layout facilitating rapid systematic interpretation. Reading the data flows naturally and quickly differentiating cardiac and pulmonary causes of dyspnea is simpler using the concise 4-panel plots. This novel tool facilitates concise clinical communication and is an amazing resource for anyone caring for people using CPET.

    Troy

    As director of the invasive cardiopulmonary exercise program at a large academic institution, there are significant demands on my time, in both clinical and research capacities. The enhancedCPETanalytics platform provides near-instantaneous analysis of studies and concisely highlights the most relevant data for each test. The program reached conclusions remarkably similar to my own—in a fraction of the time. With an elegant interface and quality-testing capabilities, this tool has cemented itself in our practice as a means of helping our clinicians interpret and report our studies.

    Riley

    The enhancedCPETanalytics report is set out in an attractive, clear, logical format and includes the most important plots required for clinical diagnosis and prognosis. The quality of the data is automatically assessed and this reduces the chance of misinterpreting technical deficiencies as pathophysiology. The physiological analysis section is a very helpful addition that provides a basis for writing the clinical report. Overall, the enhancedCPETanalytics report should significantly improve the speed, accuracy and confidence of CPET interpretation.
