Eric J. Klos, DailyBreath Founder and CEO

Eric is a seasoned executive with broad health IT expertise and relevant entrepreneurial skills. Eric owns his own Federal Health IT consulting firm, HealthTechture, providing strategic planning, marketing development, and competitive intelligence to Federal Health IT firms.  He successfully co-founded G2Xchange Health, a membership-based online competitive intelligence firm for Federal Health IT executives.  

Recognizing that environmental factors have been long neglected by the medical community when it comes to personalized health, he founded HEALTHeWeather, later becoming DailyBreath, LLC.  Because the causal effect of the weather and the environment on asthma was most readily apparent, as well as asthma attacks a significant burden on patients and the healthcare system, his 1st solution, DailyBreath, targets those with respiratory conditions. 

Inspired to address environmental factors as a determinant of health for vulnerable populations, Eric has spent more than 10,000 hours in the domain of environmental factors and respiratory conditions.  He has quickly become a thought leader in understanding the impact of weather and environmental exposures on respiratory patients.  Uniting patient education and engagement related to exposure trigger awareness, avoidance and reduction, he aims to support asthma care, reduce the asthma burden, and improve the overall quality of life for those with asthma and their caregivers.
