Smart Tubing transforms passive oxygen tubing into a connected platform for home healthcare, enabling continuous flow monitoring, real-time alerts, and remote patient monitoring.
Current Status
Functional prototypes developed and validated
• ~$500,000 raised from founders, friends & family, and angel investors
• Strategic manufacturing partnerships established (device engineering, cloud infrastructure, and oxygen tubing manufacturing)
• Patent applications filed
• Clinical validation discussions underway with leading healthcare institutions
Problem or Opportunity
Over 6 million Americans rely on supplemental oxygen, yet oxygen tubing has remained essentially unchanged for decades. Kinks, disconnections, and flow interruptions often go unnoticed until patients become hypoxic, resulting in preventable emergency visits and hospitalizations. Healthcare providers and caregivers also lack continuous data on oxygen delivery outside clinical settings, limiting remote patient monitoring and treatment optimization.
Solution (product or service)
Smart Tubing is the first intelligent platform for oxygen therapy. Our connected device continuously monitors oxygen flow, instantly detects interruptions, and notifies patients, caregivers, and clinicians through visual, audible, and remote alerts. Beyond improving safety, our platform enables continuous respiratory monitoring in the home and generates a new stream of clinical data for remote patient monitoring and future AI-assisted healthcare.
Business model
Smart Tubing combines a reusable connected monitoring device with disposable illuminated oxygen tubing. The platform generates recurring revenue through device subscriptions or rentals while disposable tubing provides ongoing consumable revenue. Future software and remote monitoring services create additional recurring value for healthcare providers.
