Stanford Health Care, one of the nation's leading academic medical centers, tapped Kivo Health as part of a collaboration to advance AI-powered virtual pulmonary rehabilitation and care for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

As part of a broader initiative to deliver high-value care, Stanford Health Care is focused on delivering innovative care for common, costly, chronic conditions such as COPD. While pulmonary rehabilitation is the gold standard of care for COPD - resulting in 56% fewer hospitalizations and improved quality of life - fewer than 3% of those who could benefit, ever have access to this life altering intervention. By collaborating with Kivo Health, Stanford Health Care enables thousands of patients to complete pulmonary rehabilitation from the safety and comfort of their homes, improving outcomes for COPD patients, and keeping patients healthy and out of the hospital.

"We are thrilled to collaborate with Kivo Health to bring virtual pulmonary rehabilitation to our COPD patients," said Leah Rosengaus, Senior Director of Digital Health at Stanford Health Care. "We are dedicated to enhancing access to care, and believe innovative solutions like virtual pulmonary rehabilitation provide patients with new channels to connect to services, and support healing in the comfort of home.”

“This collaboration reflects a bold commitment to evidence-based innovation, health equity, and value-based care,” said Victor Sadauskas, MD, CEO of Kivo Health. “Together, we are transforming how COPD is managed—expanding access, improving outcomes, and dramatically reducing avoidable hospitalizations for one of the most underserved, highest-cost chronic conditions in the U.S.”
