Overview
Breathe Technologies is a developer and manufacturer of medical technologies for treating lung diseases and sleep-disordered breathing. Breathe's wearable ventilator, NIOV, weighs only one pound, fits in the palm of the hand, and has a battery that lasts up to 4 hours before needing to be recharged. NIOV delivers a mixture of oxygen and air through a nasal interface. NIOV nasal interface covers just the nostrils, leaving the mouth unobstructed so that the patient can speak while the device is in use. NIOV requires a pressure source to work, therefore it needs an oxygen cylinder or other pressurized oxygen sources. It features the company’s proprietary, portable, open-airway platform, and is FDA cleared for patients with respiratory insufficiency such as those with COPD, Interstitial Lung disease, Post Lung transplant, Neuromuscular disorders. It is commercially available for both the institutional and homecare settings. Investors include KPCB, Johnson & Johnson, Delphi Ventures, Synergy Ventures, DAG Ventures, and Morgan Creek.
