Disease monitoring is key for patients with chronic respiratory conditions. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) is a long-term condition that causes inflammation in the lungs, making breathing difficult. It is a large growing public health problem, expected to become the third leading causes of death by 2030. Nevertheless, COPD patients lack of a frequent and accurate monitoring throughout their disease. This can result in non-adequate therapeutic measures, which can often lead to potential serious effects on patient’s status and high costs for healthcare systems.
To address this massive, worldwide problem, NanoVation’s goal – during the EIC Accelerator project - is to market a clinically validated SenseGuard™. SenseGuard™ is a breakthrough solution, for reliably monitoring of patients with respiratory diseases, including COPD, leveraging a unique nanosensor-based technology. It is an innovative wireless wearable device that enables continuous and non-invasive monitoring of lung functions derived from patients' tidal (normal) breathing.
