The Challenge
Originally developed in 1995 to aid ventilator weaning, the early version of the Pro2Fit device showed promise in improving respiratory function for patients with chronic conditions. However, its high cost limited adoption in healthcare systems. With 30% of the U.S. population affected by chronic respiratory conditions, startup Pro2Health saw an opportunity to bring this therapy to the masses by creating a more affordable, app-connected, and user-friendly version of the device. But turning a clinical prototype into a scalable, secure, and FDA-ready product required expertise they didn’t yet have.
