The startup has developed an oxygen supply device that continuously monitors and adjusts oxygen dosage for patients, ensuring they remain within a target saturation range. This technology automates titration, allowing hospitals to allocate nursing resources more efficiently while maintaining optimal care for oxygen-sensitive patients.

Problem
Traditional oxygen therapy relies on manual adjustments to flowmeters, a practice that is time-consuming for medical staff and often results in inaccurate oxygen dosing for patients. Inconsistent oxygen levels can lead to tissue damage, inhibited breathing, and extended hospital stays, particularly for individuals with conditions like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
Solution
O2matic offers an automated oxygen therapy system that continuously monitors a patient's blood oxygen level and adjusts the oxygen dose accordingly. The O2matic PRO 100 utilizes a pulse oximeter and advanced algorithms to maintain the patient's oxygen saturation within a specified target range 85% of the time, compared to 47% with manual titration. This technology reduces the risks associated with hyperoxia and hypoxemia, optimizes oxygen delivery, and frees up medical staff to focus on other critical tasks. The system also includes an alarm function that alerts staff to changes in the patient's condition, and can automate the weaning process. O2matic offers solutions for both hospital and home care settings.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes hospitals and healthcare providers seeking to improve patient safety and optimize resource allocation, as well as individuals requiring long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) in home care settings.
