Albus Health

Effortless remote monitoring solutions for participants in clinical trials, designed to provide a continuous, objective and long-term solution for nocturnal monitoring.

Used in Leading Academic & Pharmaceutical Studies by University of Oxford, Imperial College London & National Institute for Health Research

Problem
There are no tools to objectively monitor nocturnal symptoms at home. This leads to inefficient clinical trials for pharma companies and 100s of millions of preventable emergencies such as asthma attacks for patients. Patients with chronic respiratory diseases can experience warning signs at night that are usually missed, with higher risks of emergencies such as asthma attacks, but there are currently no tools to accurately monitor nocturnal symptoms.

Process
For this project, we provided a comprehensive End-to-End Product Development solution. Starting with Industrial Design and Mechanical Engineering, we created a functional and visually compelling product. We developed Prototypes and optimised performance with Thermal Design. Our team ensured manufacturability with Design for Manufacture, conducted rigorous Testing and Documentation, and supported CE & FCC Compliance. Finally, we brought the product to life with detailed Visualisations and Animations.

Outcome
We have developed the ‘Albus Home G2’, a passive and non-contact, nocturnal symptom monitoring device. It is a bedside device that does not require patient contact or interaction with the device for continuous, objective and long term symptom monitoring.
