Adherium announced that it received an award of £499,871 for an inhaler monitoring project from Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) Healthcare, a program from the UK’s National Health Service. The project, titled “Smart Digital inhaler enabled asthma management in high-risk children aged 5 to 16 years managed in primary care to prevent asthma attacks,” will offer the company’s Hailie inhaler monitoring system to patients in a real world setting.
The project will be carried out by the University of Leicester and by Helicon Health, which signed a deal to distribute the Hailie system in the UK in June 2022.
Adherium VP of Global Business Development Francis White said, “This is a unique opportunity and privilege to reach high risk children early and potentially save them and their families from the repeated challenge of exacerbations. These cause distress and can lead to emergency department visits and hospitalization.”
