Spirometrix Inc., founded in 2011 by Dr. Solomon Ssenyange and Ryan Leard as a personal mission to aid asthma patients in the management of their ailment, focuses on the development and commercialization of novel breath analysis devices for application in diagnosis and management of asthma. In recent years, non-invasive measurement and monitoring of the fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in exhaled breath has become established as the biomarker of asthma. The sensor based technology was licensed from Professor Prabir Dutta’s innovative laboratories at The Ohio State University as the company was founded.
“FeNO monitoring in the management of asthma patients at the point of care has the potential to optimize asthma therapy, improve compliance of medication use and decrease the need for emergency visits and hospitalization,” added James Wolfe, M.D., Clinical Professor of Medicine at Stanford University and a Scientific Advisor to Spirometrix. “It should be noted that both American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society have issued guidelines recommending FeNO testing for the assessment, management, and long-term monitoring of asthma.”
