You’ve Seen Frank Taking His Inhaler More Often
-
“John, the Line Supervisor”
John has worked in manufacturing for 17 years. He’s reliable, skilled, and respected by his team. But over the last few years, his attendance has quietly slipped. He uses more sick days. He struggles during long shifts. And what no one sees is that every night, John goes home wheezing.
John was diagnosed with COPD at 52. Years of exposure to fine particulate matter in industrial environments likely contributed to his declining lung function—but there were no immediate symptoms, so he kept pushing through. Now, just walking from the parking lot leaves him breathless.
Despite trying to mask it, his productivity has dipped. His fear of losing his job makes him avoid discussing his condition. He misses leadership meetings when he has a flare-up. He passed up a promotion because it would require more speaking and travel.
Hidden costs:Unreported absenteeism (using PTO for illness)
Declining productivity
Avoidable progression of chronic illness due to unmanaged care
Imagine if John had access to proactive virtual respiratory care through Nightingale. John wouldn’t just breathe better—he’d lead better.
Without Intervention: Risk of early retirement, high claims
With HCO: Remote symptom tracking, personalized therapy, proactive care
John’s Attendance at Work Has Been Slipping

Maria’s Reliability Has Been Impacted by Her Son’s Asthma
-
Maria works second shift at Just Born. She’s a single mom, and her 9-year-old son Luis has moderate-to-severe asthma. On paper, Maria is a reliable worker—but her supervisor knows she’s often flustered when she arrives. The reason? Luis has had four ER visits in the last 12 months for asthma attacks.
Each episode starts the same way—sleepless nights, school absences, a scramble to arrange child care. Maria loses 2–3 workdays per episode, unpaid. She’s afraid to bring it up too often in HR meetings. They know she’s a good worker—but the system isn’t designed to support what’s happening behind the scenes.
What if Luis had access to Nightingale?Remote symptom tracking
Alerts before asthma gets out of control
Tele-coaching for Maria to manage home triggers
This isn’t just about Luis’s health. It’s about Maria’s ability to keep working, stay financially stable, and remain a committed member of Just Born’s team.
Without Intervention: Family instability, financial strain, turnover risk
With Nightingale: Pediatric care plan, early detection, home environment support
Emily’s Workplace, a Small School, Triggers Attacks.
-
Small Employer: Bethlehem Christian School
Industry: K-12 Education | Size: <100 employees
Story: “Emily, the First-Grade Teacher”
Emily is a passionate first-grade teacher. Her students love her, and parents request her every year. But behind her warm smile, Emily carries the anxiety of severe, uncontrolled asthma. The school’s old HVAC system circulates dust and mold spores, which make her symptoms flare constantly.
Every fall, Emily catches colds that linger for weeks, triggering bronchospasms and missed workdays. She’s used up her sick leave by November most years. Substitutes can’t replicate her curriculum flow, and student outcomes suffer. She’s been to the ER twice in the last year.
The school doesn’t offer a specialized asthma care benefit. Her doctor is 40 minutes away, and appointments are hard to book around class hours.
If Emily had Nightingale:Wearable monitoring could detect symptom patterns
Access to virtual respiratory therapy on weekends
Environmental coaching to help the school identify indoor triggers
Helping Emily isn’t just compassionate—it’s smart HR policy. Teacher retention, student performance, and total cost of care would all benefit.
Without Intervention: Burnout, chronic absences, student disruption
With Nightingale: Remote care, therapy on weekends, coaching for school facilities
The impact is human, financial & more.
