Problem
Post-operative respiratory failure is a leading cause of death globally, often detected late by methods like pulse oximetry, which rely on human assessment and may miss early warning signs. This late detection leads to increased recovery times, costly add-on tests, unplanned ICU admissions, and extended hospital stays.
Solution
AyrFlo is developing the Smart Ayr patch, a wearable sensor that provides continuous, real-time monitoring of breathing metrics to detect respiratory deterioration. The self-adhesive patch adheres to the patient's neck and uses proprietary software to communicate patient-specific breathing changes to clinicians. By providing comprehensive breathing data, the Smart Ayr patch enables fast and accurate diagnosis and intervention, reducing recovery time and hospital costs.
Target Audience
The primary users are clinicians and hospitals aiming to improve patient safety, reduce post-operative complications, and decrease hospital costs associated with respiratory failure.
Features
- Wearable, self-adhesive patch for non-invasive respiratory monitoring
