The AIRBEST project aims to build on the early detection and management of respiratory conditions, especially COPD. Together with our partners we have achieved a milestone of innovation and progress in the project. We managed to achieve preliminary testing of a proof-of-concept device, advancing on the sensor design, regulatory aspect of the device and business management. Going forward, we aim to achieve the milestones to arrive at an early monitoring device that enables individuals to monitor their health. We thank Vinnova and Eureka-Eurostars for funding and support during the project duration.
