Andning Med

At Andning Med we develop smart intuitive inhalers that help patients inhale their medication correctly and deliver the optimal dose of medication into the lungs. Breathe with us! Every fifth person suffers from respiratory diseases like Asthma or COPD. Patients use an inhaler, but 90% make mistakes during the inhalation, leading to complications and breathless attacks. This represents a large market opportunity with millions of patients that we - a team of a medical doctor, a product designer and a business developer want to target. What we have accomplished 1 - We have a prototype - a fully functional add-on device that can be attached to the inhaler. It is ready to be tested in larger patient studies. 2 - We have tested and verified our solutions with 20 patients and 40 naïve users. 3 - We have spent 2 months of daily observing nurses, doctors and patients in the primary care centers. 4 - We secured 1 MSEK funding from Vinnova, Solna Stad, EIT Health and KTH and we are set to accelerate with larger investment and EU funding. 5 - We have developed the product and business in the KTH Innovation pre-incubator program. The journey ahead Our next step is developing the final prototype to be tested in a pilot patient study and prepare for manufacturing. We now accelerate our efforts towards finalizing the size, shape and usability as well as collecting measurements and handling data using our software. With the finalized product we will run clinical investigations to obtain a CE-mark. We plan to launch the product on the market in 2023. About us Andning Med was formed based on a clear need observed during clinical immersion. During the Clinical Innovation Fellowship program supported by KTH, KI, RISE and EIT Health the team got an unprecedented insight into healthcare challenges connected with COPD and respiratory diseases. Here the idea for a smart inhalation device was born. Our product is an add-on hardware device that measures the inhalation technique, giving live visual feedback every time. Our software collects data and enables tracking over time to motivate patients, involve family and inform doctors. Andning Med is currently supported by KTH Innovation and is exiting a batch in the KTH Innovation Pre-incubator program. The KTH Innovation pre-incubator program is a 12 month program to accelerate the development of promising startup projects from KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Startup projects receive extensive support from inhouse Business Development Coaches as well as additional support such as office space, community activities, access to industry, mentor and investor networks.
