Propeller will continue to operate as a standalone business out of its
Madison, Wisc., and San Francisco offices, working with leading
pharmaceutical partners and other healthcare organizations to provide
digital therapeutics and actionable insights to people who use inhalers,
helping improve their medication adherence, increase their number of
symptom-free days, and reduce emergency room visits.
“I’m excited to welcome Propeller, a fellow digital health innovator and
high-performing company, into the ResMed family,” said ResMed CEO Mick
Farrell. “Propeller’s digital solutions and partnerships strengthen
ResMed’s larger suite of products that can treat millions of people at
various stages of their COPD and other chronic diseases, all aimed at
improving people’s quality of life, while reducing the effects of these
diseases, hospitalizations, and the overall cost of healthcare.”
Propeller will operate within ResMed’s Respiratory Care portfolio;
Propeller CEO David Van Sickle remains in his role, reporting to ResMed
Respiratory Care President Richie McHale.
As ResMed first reported on December 3, 2018, the addition of
Propeller’s business is expected to have a dilutive impact on ResMed’s
non-GAAP earnings per share in the range of $0.01 to $0.02 per quarter
during the remainder of Fiscal Year 2019.
