L2M-Automated Home Oxygen Therapy through Closed-Loop Control of Inhaled Oxygen Concentration

This project focuses on developing an innovative, automated wearable oxygen delivery system specifically designed to improve the quality of life for individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and other respiratory ailments. By incorporating advanced sensor technology, the system will dynamically adjust oxygen flow based on the user’s real-time respiratory needs, allowing for greater mobility and comfort. This not only aims to enhance patient independence but also significantly reduces healthcare costs associated with hospital readmissions. For the partner organization, this project offers the potential to lead in the advancement of respiratory care technology, opening up new market opportunities and reinforcing its role as a pioneer in healthcare innovation. The collaboration will also help the organization stay at the forefront of medical technology, providing competitive advantages in both the healthcare and technology sectors.
