In response to the challenges posed by SARS-CoV-2 and other viral infections, MED-EL Elektromedizinische Geräte GmbH has developed an innovative aerosol headset. The goal is to prevent and treat respiratory diseases through an open system that delivers an antiviral aerosol directly in front of the mouth and nose without covering the face. This miniaturized, head-worn device combines precise aerosol delivery with bioactive substances and intelligent sensors that detect and optimize breathing patterns.The platform offers connected IT solutions for communication with eHealth systems, enabling the exchange of physiological data with treating physicians. In addition to saline solutions, antiviral substances such as Iota-Carrageenan are used to block viral entry. Beyond acute pandemics, this system holds great potential for the prophylaxis and treatment of chronic respiratory diseases.
