RespiBit is one of the supported startups in the first S3E Charge Accelerator Programme.
Problem: Asthma management is currently insufficient and needs to be improved as many of the current hospitalizations and deaths due to asthma are avoidable. Notably, asthma is the leading cause of hospitalization for children under the age of 18 today. Despite the significant costs and seriousness of the asthma problem, no solutions exist to effectively manage the condition or to predict asthma attacks.
Solution: The AsthmaFit system is the first predictive and personalized product to monitor and manage asthma in a deep and effective manner. It’s a completely unique approach to monitor the condition of asthma patients, their exposure and symptom histories, and predicting asthma attacks by providing actionable, preventative and protective metrics.
Product/Services: The AsthmaFit product consists of a wearable device, an app and cloud software. AsthmaFit services address the specific needs of people with asthma of different severity (i.e., mild, moderate, and severe) and provide personalised solutions for monitoring asthma and minimising asthma attacks. AsthmaFit provides a unique and powerful solution by means of broad monitoring of exposure to the 3P’s (pollen, particulates and pollutants) that influence asthma in different ways, by monitoring individual symptoms, and by advanced algorithms that analyse the exposure entities, determine the sensitivity profile and then predict next day probable outcomes.
Value Proposition: AsthmaFit delivers to the user: a comprehensive exposure history in terms of pollen, particulates and pollutants, asthma status and sensitivity profile, and exposure warnings based on long-term exposure to specific irritants and short-term exposure to specific triggers. It is estimated that AsthmaFit will be able to predict 60%, or more, of severe asthma attacks reducing overall costs of asthma for people with severe asthma.
