At Andning Med we are looking for a lead business developer that would turn the untapped potential of our solution into a successful product, used daily by many patients. We have a lot of market leads and need help from a new potential co-founder to bring them home.

About us
At Andning Med we develop smart intuitive inhalers that help patients inhale their medication correctly and deliver the optimal dose of medication to their lungs.

Every fifth person suffers from respiratory diseases like Asthma or COPD. Patients use an inhaler; however, 90% patients make mistakes during the inhalation, leading to complications and breathless attacks. This represents a large market opportunity with millions of patients.

The journey ahead
We are now developing the final prototype to be tested in a pilot patient study and prepared for manufacturing. We have established partnerships with healthcare providers and patient organizations in Sweden and in India. With the finalized product we will run clinical investigations to launch on the market from 2025.

About the company
Andning Med was formed around a clear need observed during clinical immersion in primary care. During the Clinical Innovation Fellowship program supported by KTH, Karolinska, RISE and EIT Health the team gained an unprecedented insight into healthcare challenges connected with respiratory diseases. Here the idea for a smart inhalation device was born. Our product is an add-on hardware device that measures the inhalation technique, giving live visual feedback. Our software collects data and enables tracking over time to motivate patients, involve family and inform doctors.
