Airpad

Airpad adapts ventilators to the breathing patterns of intensive care patients to reduce asynchronies.

When asynchronies occur between the ventilator and the patient's breathing, this can cause problems. By inducing diagnostic errors, they potentially prolong the intubation period.

Following the need expressed by clinicians, Airpad co-founders, William Pasillas-Lépine, Luca Greco, Guillaume Carteaux, and Samuel Tuffet, are working on a ventilator that adapts to the patient's breathing rhythm. The technology offers automatic adjustment of the cycling parameter for spontaneous breathing with inspiratory assistance (VSAI).

What is the current status of their project?

  • Formalizing an invention disclosure
  • Patent being drafted
  • Development of an API to determine optimal adjustment parameters
  • Improvement of control laws
  • Asynchrony measurement tests with a respiratory robot
