Gecko Health Innovations Inc. is a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based company in the hospitals and health care sector. It employs a small team and develops tools for pediatric asthma management, most notably CareTRx, a device that attaches to existing inhalers to help families monitor medication use and receive reminders. Asthma is described as the most common chronic childhood disease and a leading cause of hospitalization, highlighting the need for improved adherence and symptom awareness. The product is intended to support families in moving toward self-management by increasing awareness and adherence to prescribed treatment. Gecko Health Innovations was acquired by Teva Pharmaceuticals in September 2015. The device targets children with asthma and their parents, addressing adherence and disease awareness through monitoring inhaler use and reminders.
