SBIR Phase I: Lightweight Oxygen Generator

这个小型企业创新研究（SBIR）一期项目旨在开发一种轻型、安静的氧气发生器，供慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）患者使用。以电化学浓缩器为基础的氧气发生器将取代目前用于室内治疗的钢瓶、液氧或变压吸附装置。该项目解决了一个巨大的市场机会，部分由医疗保险补贴，并为其用户提供了生活质量的提高。

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project aims to develop a lightweight, quiet oxygen generator for use by patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The oxygen generator, based on the use of electrochemical concentrator, would replace cylinders, liquid oxygen or pressure-swing adsorption units currently used for in-house therapy. This project addresses a large market opportunity that is partially subsidized by Medicare as well as providing an in crease in the quality of life for its users.
