Revolutionizing Respiratory Care
The vision behind Pro2Fit stemmed from a 1995 invention designed to aid ventilator weaning. While the initial product proved effective for patients on ventilators, and those with chronic respiratory conditions also had success as a result of raising their Vo2Max +10% in 6 – 8 weeks, its high cost hindered adoption within the UK healthcare system. Pro2Health recognized an opportunity to leverage modern Bluetooth technology and create a more affordable solution. Their target market: the vast 30% of the US population struggling with chronic respiratory conditions.
The Roadblocks to Success
At the time, the market offered few competing products, all proffering high costs and lacking mobile app integration. Only one competitor boasted FDA clearance. Pro2Health, a startup passionate about continuing the inventor’s mission, aimed to provide an accessible resource for those battling chronic respiratory issues. This solution would empower them to understand and improve their respiratory health through simple app-guided breathing exercises.
The primary obstacle? The inventor, a skilled respiratory physiotherapist, lacked expertise in medical device development. While they successfully built 200 prototypes of the original product, market research revealed a more affordable solution was crucial for gaining traction.
Bridging the Innovation Gap
By meticulously reviewing the original product and approach, the Sunrise team was able to leverage learnings to develop an ergonomic solution that incorporated readily available, low-cost technologies that meet rigorous cybersecurity standards. This strategy directly addressed Pro2Health’s needs for affordability and user-friendliness.
A Breathtaking Success Story
The Pro2Fit product was successfully completed and transferred to manufacturing, with over 1500 units built to date. More than 1000 units are currently in use in 16 countries, supported by five completed studies and seven ongoing ones at prestigious institutions. The product has demonstrated significant improvement in just 7 weeks for patients with chronic conditions such as COPD, Congestive Heart Failure, Spinal Injury, Asthma, and Long-Covid.
Pro2Health’s success with Pro2Fit has enabled the company to secure investment for growth and establish its first distribution partnership, expanding its footprint in the respiratory health market.
