Granular Ventilator Data Collection for Smarter ICU Care

Why Clinicians Need Granular Ventilator Data
Most ventilators give only averages — like tidal volume every 5 minutes. But patients don't breathe in averages. Granular data shows every breath, waveform, and pressure change, making patient–ventilator interaction visible in real time.
This helps detect subtle problems early, such as patient-ventilator asynchrony, and supports more personalized ventilator settings. During clinical trials, researchers often have to collect data manually several times a day, which can lead to losing important insights.
Clinical Applications
Detecting Asynchrony: Missed triggers, flow starvation, or double triggering become obvious when you can see breath-by-breath waveforms.
Research & Education: High-frequency ventilator data can be exported for studies or used as real teaching material for trainees.
Developing Ventilation Protocols and AI Algorithms: High-frequency datasets allow the creation of precise ventilation strategies tailored to patient condition, and support training and validation of AI algorithms that can recommend safe settings, predict asynchrony, and guide lung-protective ventilation.
How Deep Breath Simplifies Data Collection
Deep Breath connects directly to ICU ventilators and continuously captures waveforms, parameters, and alarms. It integrates into your workflow without disrupting care.
No extra steps and no complicated software — only straightforward, accessible data that clinicians and researchers can use immediately
No special skills needed: ICU staff can set it up without IT engineers
Connection takes less than 5 minutes and then works continuously
Data Privacy, IT Security, and Easy Setup
Privacy first: Deep Breath doesn't store personal data, so doesn't require additional agreement
Works offline: Deep Breath can collect waveform data fully offline
Secure: Encrypted transfer inside hospital VPN/firewalls
Simple installation: Plug-and-play device, ready in minutes
No special skills needed: ICU staff can set it up without IT engineers
You get research-level data without adding IT headaches.
