Janet T. was in disbelief the day she was diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) at the age of 45.  “You never expect that it is going to happen to you… that you are invincible, and then it does,” she stated, recalling her reaction to the diagnosis.

Along with Janet’s diagnosis came lifestyle changes and the many medical burdens associated with COPD.  She was in the hospital for days at a time at least twice a year, sometimes ending up in the Intensive Care Unit, and for the past few years, she has needed antibiotics every month.

After five long years of struggling with the symptoms of COPD, Janet’s physician suggested that she try theSmartVest® to treat her condition.  From that point on Janet “could not believe she had ever lived without it. TheSmartVest® is awesome. I can breathe a lot easier, can do things I haven’t been able to for 5 years and I get around a lot better without having to stop and catch my breath.”

When Janet received theSmartVest®, her nurse showed her how to use it and explained which settings would work best for her treatment. Now all Janet has to do at home is press a few buttons and let the SmartVest® do the rest!

Janet has noticed that theSmartVest® has helped to eliminate repetitive medical costs. “Not only do I feel so much better, but I am also saving money being completely off the antibiotics and no longer needing extended hospital stays.”

Janet feels very strongly about getting the word out on theSmartVest® and how it can change the lives of its users. “I wish I would have known about theSmartVest® sooner.  I have already recommended it to another woman who also suffers from COPD and she too has had excellent results.”
