Studies show that 70-90% of patients perform one or more critical errors in their inhalation technique. Incorrectly inhaled medication leads to poor control of the disease and increases the number of exacerbations - sudden breathlessness attacks.
THE NEED
Patients with Asthma and COPD face a wide array of inhaler types to manage their disease, each requires different inhalation technique. This makes inhalers a hard-to-use devices where patients are recommended to be educated every few months to be able to inhale correctly.
We develop a medical device with a unique combination of electronic components that intuitively guides the patient through the inhalation process. The device helps patients breathe easily even though they have asthma or COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).
COMPANY PROFILE
Our vision is to help patients control their chronic lung disease and relieve their symptoms through the correct inhalation technique.
We are a team of experts in medicine, science and product design. We have seen challenges of COPD and Asthma patients during our clinical immersion in primary care centers, daily observing and interviewing patients, doctors and nurses. We develop our product based on these observations and the real needs of patients and professionals involved in chronic lung disease treatment.
Our decisions follow our core principles:
Patients in the center
Driven by science and facts
Viewing problems from various perspectives
Universities, organizations and companies around the world have chosen to support Andning Med in our journey. We’re proud to be a part of the work of forward-thinking, innovation and research.

Info om KOL-studie
Article about the presentation of our research at Hjärtlung föreningen Stockholm in December of 2019. There we presented our work towards understanding the needs of COPD patients to spread the knowledge and insights gathered in the Clinical innovation fellowships program.
If you are a healthcare organization, medical professional or user of inhaler and want to know how we can help to improve inhalation technique, we’d love to hear from you.
