Deep Breath is a cutting-edge MedTech startup on a mission to transform the landscape of intensive care unit (ICU) treatment. They specialize in software as a medical device that detects unsafe modes during mechanical lung ventilation with AI algorithms, offering critical insights to optimize treatment and improve patient outcomes. The startup joined YES!Delft accelerator program in 2023 October.
The potential of Deep Breaths technology is considerable. With up to 20 million people requiring ICU admission annually and 40-50% of them needing mechanical ventilation annually, the need for optimized lung ventilation support is critical. By providing timely and precise adjustments to ventilator settings, Deep Breath can ICU stays by up to 20% on average, increasing hospital capacity and easing the load on medical staff.
Traditionally, managing mechanical ventilation in ICUs has been a complex and labour-intensive. This increases the risk of errors and places a heavy burden on medical staff. Deep breath recognized these challenges during Covid-19 and set out to develop an intelligent solution that could streamline this process.
Deep Breath’s AI-driven platform continuously monitors patients’ conditions and provides real-time recommendations to medical staff. The system can detect early signs of complications, predict adverse events and suggest optimal ventilator settings. By integrating advanced algorithms with clinical expertise, Deep Breath is transforming the management of mechanical ventilation in critical care.
