What our expert Dr. Thomas Hering says about NELA
Why I support NELA as an expert
I have a great vision for NELA: the recording of coughs will be a breakthrough, especially in the treatment of unstable COPD patients, whose prognosis can be expected to take a quantum leap for the better thanks to therapy monitoring with the help of cough quantification!
NELA’s products will also be an invaluable aid in the differential diagnosis of the difficult area of chronic cough in the future. We will finally have objective data that will enable us to differentiate between the diverse and often overlapping causes of chronic cough and treat them in a targeted manner.

What our expert Dr. Peter Kardos says about NELA
Why I support NELA as an expert
I support NELA because I believe that objective cough registration closes a large gap between subjective perception and objective measurement data. Therapeutic consequences could be derived from a discrepancy. Furthermore, it is important to objectify the effect of a prescribed therapy. It’s like a blood pressure medication. When I prescribe it, I want to know whether the high blood pressure has been reduced.

What our expert Prof. Dr. Nikola Maria Stenzel says about NELA
Why I support NELA as an expert
For many years, I have been working both scientifically and psychotherapeutically on how to improve the psychological well-being and quality of life of people with chronic lung disease and chronic cough in the long term. What particularly excites me about the NELA products is that they offer the opportunity to combine psychological support systems in synergy with innovative medical devices. In the long term, this could have great potential to sustainably improve the treatment of those affected.

What our expert Dr. Christoph Kuntze says about NELA
Why I support NELA as an expert
I have been working as a GP for 27 years now. I have had and still have many patients with sometimes severe chronic respiratory diseases. I think the idea of recognizing an impending infection in advance and being able to act more quickly is excellent. That’s why I’m enthusiastically involved as a consultant doctor from the practice for the practice.
