AireHealth Showcasing Key Milestones with Acceptance at Eureka Park CES 2020
Orlando, Fla. (January 3, 2020) – Help is here for 29 million wheezy kids and the 100 million Americans who suffer from respiratory illnesses.
Next week, Orlando-based AireHealth is launching sales of its new portable nebulizer and the AireHealth Asthma App, giving patients who suffer through respiratory illnesses key tools for a healthier life.
Both key milestones are being launched at CES in Las Vegas, starting January 7.
The potential of this new technology was an integral part of the criteria to be chosen as a featured startup in Eureka Park, a segment of CES reserved for only 1,200 of the most promising startup businesses nationwide.
“This is what we’ve been working toward for more than a year, to get this technology into the hands of the children who need it,” says Stacie Ruth, CEO, AireHealth. “To be selected to be part of Eureka Park to make our product and app launch is quite an honor.”
Startups can apply to be showcased only once in Eureka Park, and each business must follow strict requirements. For instance, startups exhibiting in Eureka Park this year must have a finished, branded product that launched after January 1, 2019. It must be “innovative with the potential to make a profound impact on the market” and the product would benefit consumers.
AireHealth’s FDA-cleared Class II nebulizer provides a new way for patients with asthma and other respiratory illnesses to receive much needed medicine. Today, they either use an inhaler, which can pose proper use problems for some, or a large machine that is not portable.
AireHealth’s nebulizer is the size of a deck of cards and is designed to provide an accurate dosage of prescribed medication every time, faster than today’s standard nebulizer treatments.
The new AireHealth Asthma App, hitting app stores this month, is structured to help guide patients and caregivers through their illness.
It provides alerts for low air quality conditions, and the app also contains industry respected KidsHealth® education and information about asthma tailored to kids, teens and parents to keep patients and their caregivers confident and informed. Triggers and symptoms can be logged to fully understand the personal impacts of asthma and helps someone with the illness better understand when an attack or an escalation of symptoms may occur. Reminders on medicines can be structured based on each individual’s needs and can be shared across multiple, invited caregivers and exported to your physician.
“The key to controlling asthma is being proactive in the care of the patient,” Ruth says. “This app gives patients and caregivers a tool for communication, giving them peace of mind as they navigate their lives.”
