RightAir's wearable AIR-AD vest will help millions of COPD patients breathe easier and live better lives. The AIR-AD looks like a regular clothing vest, but it offloads the work of breathing and reduces dynamic hyperinflation, allowing patients to increase their physical activity and stay out of the hospital. The AIR-AD is based on a proven respiratory assist technology (cuirass ventilators). www.rightair.io
