AIR-AD
Project Information
Problem
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a smoking-related lung disease that causes shortness of breath. Dyspnea-on-exertion is not caused by a lack of oxygen, but by the increased work of breathing that the respiratory muscles of COPD patients face.
Solution
AIR-AD helps COPD patients breathe easier through a wearable respiratory assist device.
