Our Story

Inspiritus Health was started by a multidisciplinary team of Oxford Global Insight Fellows consisting of a consultant anaesthetist and an electrical engineer, who saw patients wasting away on the ventilator during clinical immersions in Senegal and the UK.

Using the principles of Need-Led Innovation, they identified the problem of Ventilator Induced Diaphragm Dysfunction as a major reason preventing effective weaning and have been developing the StimSpirit with and for clinicians to reduce the weaning duration for Ventilated patients around the world.
