Add Able’s Smart Breathe devices enable personalised respiratory rehabilitation
Add Able is a South Korean respiratory medical device startup company that provides data-based, customized respiratory rehabilitation solutions.
In the field of rehabilitation and medical care, Add Able solves social problems together and seeks growth together, developing products under the slogan of “Being Healthier”.
The respiratory rehabilitation solution developed by the Add Able research team connects a breathing training device and mobile app to improve health and immunity by increasing lung capacity through respiratory training. It is effective in reducing dementia and improving health in elderly dementia patients.
During the design and manufacture process, the team collaborated with physical therapists, occupational therapists, elderly care professors, and IT experts to ensure the reliability and efficacy of the device.
With the motif of “making life healthier”, Add Able is making products that anyone can use. The basis of life is breathing.
Add Able says they will change the paradigm of respiratory training by constantly researching and improving their Smart Breathe series.
Product profile
Add Able’s respiratory training system is divided into two types:
- Motorized functional recovery devices that connect a respiratory measurement device to a mobile device and are used through a dedicated application, and
- Manual functional recovery devices that can be used in daily life while performing aerobic exercises, such as running.
According to the user’s breathing volume and condition, the air volume is adjusted through the load control mechanism mounted on the device. During breathing exercises, by placing the mouth on the mouthpiece, spirometry and respiratory muscle measurements are acquired. Reports on related breathing data are provided, and unlike existing analog breath training methods (blowing balloons, blowing out candles), it is possible to continuously train by inducing user interest through games.
Add Able’s respiratory training system can reduce the time from pulmonary function tests in hospitals to the application of respiratory rehabilitation therapy. It provides a new paradigm in the respiratory rehabilitation market by increasing user motivation through AI-based lung disease diagnosis and customized respiratory rehabilitation guides currently under development.
