SilverFit Flow: Breathing Exercises

Breathing Exercises in Game Form

Encourage clients to perform breathing exercises in the form of games. These exercises are easier for therapists to explain and more effective for clients to perform. With the games on SilverFit Flow, breathing exercises have never been this fun and insightful!

Scientific substantiation

Breathing Exercises Made Clear for Both Client and Professional

SilverFit Flow makes abstract breathing exercises tangible and visually understandable. Clients know how to perform the exercise and are further motivated by the game element. By customising SilverFit Flow exercises for the client, progress becomes visible, positively encouraging improvement with each session. Physiotherapists, speech therapists, pulmonologists, and respiratory nurses find SilverFit Flow a valuable addition to successful treatment.

What does the system offer

The SilverFit Flow offers even more. For example, the system tracks client progress and is flexibly deployable. In 2025, we will add Resistance Training, meant to train respiratory muscle strength.

Resistance Training

We’re expanding SilverFit Flow’s exercises in 2025. We’re currently testing a version that allows for resistance-based breathing exercises, both inspiratory and expiratory, to help build strength. This will support processes like weaning post-ventilation or developing a stronger cough. These exercises challenge respiratory muscle strength, training more muscle tissue.

Track Progress in the Client Record

Therapists can easily create a record for each client on SilverFit Flow. This allows for precise tracking of client performance over time.

Flexible Usability

SilverFit Flow comes with a laptop and a digital spirometer, making it usable during regular treatments on-site as well as in-home or at a hospital bedside. SilverFit Flow is perfect for intramural treatments and multidisciplinary collaboration among professionals, e.g., physiotherapists and speech therapists. SilverFit Flow can also be added as a module to SilverFit Rephagia and SilverFit 3D.

Visualisation

Volume and Flow Value Displayed

Through exercise visualisation and graphical representation of exercise results, the client’s inhale and exhale volume and flow values are visible. This allows the therapist to provide better guidance and feedback to the client.
