CIMIT Launching Technology Platform for Inhalation Therapy with $1.5M in Seed Funds from Air Liquide
CIMIT has announced it is establishing a technology platform for the development of innovative approaches to inhalation therapy, an ambitious initiative made possible through $1.5 million in seed funding from Air Liquide.
Air Liquide, an industry leader based in France, serves more than 5,000 hospitals and 300,000 homecare patients around the world. The group supplies gases, hygiene products and equipment to hospitals, and inhalation therapy and homecare services to respiratory patients.
The CIMIT technology project, called the Inhalation Technology Program, will be developed over three years. Its aim is to facilitate the development of innovative inhalation therapy technologies. Such technologies will help reduce both human suffering and health-care costs for those with chronic and acute respiratory conditions.
This partnership reflects CIMIT’s stature as a trusted force in the development of innovative technology in medicine. CIMIT has numerous institutional friends but this seed grant to launch the new program is unique.
