BreatheSuite Receives FDA Clearance for Over-the-Counter Device to Turn Regular Metered-Dose Inhalers into Smart Inhalers

BreatheSuite

BreatheSuite Inc., a Canadian connected respiratory health company, today announced that it has received 510(K) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its BreatheSuite Metered-Dose Inhaler (MDI) V1 device. Approved for both prescription and over-the-counter use, the BreatheSuite device turns existing MDIs into smart inhalers by automatically and objectively monitoring and providing feedback on inhaler adherence and technique for people with asthma and COPD. Tens of millions of Americans currently use MDIs. Techniques such as shaking the MDI 10-15 times, as well as breath timing and positioning, can greatly impact the amount of medication that reaches the lungs. For every 100 people who use an inhaler, 90 are using it incorrectly; 66 are not adherent to the medication as prescribed (skipping doses, etc.). Inhaler misuse makes up about $5- $7 billion of the approximately $25 billion spent on inhalers annually. The BreatheSuite System – composed of a disposable, battery-powered, portable BreatheSuite MDI add-on device and a mobile application based on behavior change strategies – is designed to work with an MDI by attaching to the top of the canister of the patient’s inhaler. The device and mobile app work together to evaluate and “score” a person’s inhaler technique and usage patterns, storing results in the cloud so the person can track and use this information to improve how they use their inhaler. With consent, this information can also be remotely monitored by the person’s healthcare team to promote customizable care plans. By promoting more effective inhaler use and remote patient monitoring (RPM), BreatheSuite aims to improve quality of care and health outcomes while reducing the economic burden associated with these conditions. Medical costs for chronic COPD were estimated to reach $49 billion in 2020, and the annual economic cost of asthma from 2008-2013 was more than $81.9 billion – with medical costs alone accounting for $50.3 billion. “We are extremely excited to have obtained FDA clearance, which is a critical step in achieving our vision of improving the lives of respiratory patients worldwide,” said Brett Vokey, Founder and CEO of BreatheSuite. “The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored that now is the time for remote patient monitoring to take a front seat in providing better, more transparent care for all people with asthma or COPD. With FDA clearance, we are poised to become a leader in providing actionable insights to people with asthma or COPD across the United States.” “By having a real-time way to digitally monitor and provide feedback to patients, we hope to enhance healthcare outcomes,” said Dr. Meshari F. Alwashmi, Chief Scientific Officer, BreatheSuite. “Furthermore, having an objective measure of adherence and technique from each user with asthma and COPD will advance the sphere of knowledge regarding the effectiveness of inhaled medications.” The BreatheSuite device does not interfere with regular MDI usage and can be removed and reattached to a new inhaler with ease. The device is compatible with 90% of MDIs on the market, including those manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Teva and Prasco. In addition to FDA clearance, which is a first for a Newfoundland and Labrador-based company, the BreatheSuite device has also been cleared for sale in Canada. About BreatheSuite BreatheSuite is a Canadian connected health company founded in 2018 to help people with chronic respiratory conditions live longer, healthier lives. The BreatheSuite MDI device is designed to track and train proper inhaler usage, while the BreatheSuite App applies behavior change tactics to improve adherence, and tips on how to improve inhaler technique. BreatheSuite works with leading partners across North America to deliver better care to people with chronic respiratory conditions.

Marquee investors rally into Coinrule funding round as auto crypto trading takes off

Coinrule

Fintech startup Coinrule which provides individual and retail cryptocurrency investors an automated crypto trading platform for their assets, has today announced a $2.2m seed funding round. A range of decorated tech founders and investors participated in the round including Fitbit founder James Park, Twitch founder Kevin Lin, Kayak founder Paul English and a fund in which Naval Ravikant is an investor among others*. Coinrule has also joined the YCombinator S21 cohort. Founded in 2018, by Gabriele Musella, Oleg Giberstein and Zdeněk Höfler, Coinrule enables cryptocurrency investors to create and test automated trading strategies for their assets to benefit from market opportunities but also to protect them against adverse events. It was created with the mission to increase the accessibility of trading strategies and models, typically the preserve of investment banks and hedge funds, for anyone. In effect, Coinrule provides algorithmic trading without having to learn a single line of code. Users can access one of 4 plans: one is free, the others charge a tiered fee for Hobbyist, Trader and Pro plans. Gabriele Musella, co-founder of Coinrule commented: “Coinrule is perfectly placed between two super trends, hyper financialization and the growth of automation in the world. We are bridging these trends to bring everyday crypto currency holders the opportunity to seize market opportunities. This funding and joining the YCombinator programme has put us in a good place to deliver our mission for financial inclusion by giving people the tools to compete in a new world of trading.” Coinrule has grown rapidly over the last 12 months and now has over 80,000 users trading assets worth £100m every month. In any given month, users are creating over 100,000 strategies on the platform as they seek greater ownership of their assets. “Crypto trading volumes account for over 10% of US equity trading and there are more than 60m active crypto traders worldwide. Moreover, our insights tell us there are some 360m people owning crypto assets worldwide with 82% who are keen to act quickly to market changes but feel constrained by the lack of means to do so. The opportunity is clear and present for Coinrule to help a range of people with crypto assets to generate value and protect their assets. Over the next 5 years, we plan to expand our user base to over 2 million and automate $100 billion in crypto trading volume” added Gabriele Musella. “The world of finance is changing. Up to 90% of global markets are managed by bots and run by investment banks and hedge funds, leaving the average investor with few tools to compete. Learning to trade manually is difficult and time consuming and the relative knowledge of professional and hobbyist investors is very different, and so is their access to opportunities.” Coinrule's vision is to become an investment ecosystem that allows users to backtest strategies, copy trades from expert investors in the marketplace, find arbitrage opportunities and automatically find the best prices across exchanges. Coinrule has already integrated it’s offering with global crypto exchanges including Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, Bitstamp among others. Gabriele Musella concluded: “The new world of finance requires levelling the playing field between regular traders and hedge funds. Until that point is reached, we will continue to innovate and increase accessibility of the Coinrule platform to all. Long term, we intend to expand into traditional assets such as stocks as well as the new field of Decentralised Finance. Adding decentralised apps to Coinrule strategies would open endless opportunities like staking coins, smart routing and trading synthetic assets. All of this will be possible from one single interface enhanced with the power of automation.” Coinrule is uniquely positioned to become the link between the old world of finance and the new, offering an automated SaaS trading solution across all assets and platforms, * Other investors include: Matteo Franceschetti’s Superfund (Founder of Eight Sleeps), Zilliqa Capital (a blockchain crypto fund), YC Alums Fund, Urban Innovation Fund (a Silicon Valley fund), NZVC, Startup Leadership Program (SLP Angels), CV VC, Kube VC, NV Ventures, Christophe Lassuyt, Robin Bade, Justin Hamilton, Stelios Gerogiannakis and Dan Scarfe. About Coinrule Coinrule enables retail investors with crypto assets to automate their investments across multiple platforms to protect your funds and catch the next great market opportunity - algorithmic trading without having to learn a single line of code. Coinrule was founded by Gabriele, Oleg and Zdenek in 2018 to help more people take control of their cryptocurrency assets. In doing so, this will inspire normal people to learn more about investing and access trading tools that are currently only available to professional traders.

D8.co will deliver their award winning Delta-8 carts, Delta-8 disposables, and Delta-8 gummies to any customer within 1-hour in a 25-mile radius of any professional NFL team.

Customers want our products, and they want them immediately.” The first six states D8.co will integrate into their program are Texas, Georgia, Florida, Minnesota, Ohio, and North Carolina. The company will expand into the rest of the U.S immediately, with full integration expected to take approximately 45 days. “We have more than 50 major fulfillment centers locked in that are centrally managed from our cloud technology. Once an order is placed, our customers will receive an email and text where they can track our drivers all the way to delivery,” said Hugh McPherson, EVP of D8.co. D8.co expects to immediately double online sales with the new integration. “We are extremely excited to launch 1-hour delivery,” said Duffield. “We just became the largest cannabis company in the United States, which makes us a prime acquisition target. I’m very proud of our core team and all the hard work everyone has put in to make D8 the number one brand in the market.” About D8.co D8.co is based in Colorado and Miami with satellite offices in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. The company is an assembly of the top hemp and cannabis minds in the country. With backgrounds in extraction, chemistry, manufacturing, marketing, distribution, and legal, the D8 team came together organically around this elusive, but extremely powerful molecule to create a new category of products.
