Project Tide is commercializing novel respiration measurement technology developed at Tampere University of Technology. The first application of this technology platform is in DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF CHILDHOOD ASTHMA.

Because of the very limited methods for objective lung function measurement in young children their diagnostic procedures for asthma are currently based on qualitative and subjective estimates of the symptoms. Approximately 15 % of all children exhibit symptoms before school age. There have been technological attempts to solve this widely acknowledged problem, but none have been successful so far. Our approach is paradigm changing and will globally affect the course of pediatric asthma diagnosis and management.

Our innovative system enables lung function measurements with practically no need of co-operation from the child. The measurement is done over one 24h period and analysed for signs of asthma in the respiratory flow pattern.

The technology is currently in clinical trial phase with the leading pediatric asthma research group in Finland. The first phase results on asthmatic preschool children are very encouraging and will be published soon.

We are seeking seed funding to establish a company in Q2 / 2014.
