The researchers of NODES project at the 29th Congress of the European Society of Biomechanics

TINCARE researchers presented the results of their research at the congress of European Society of Biomechanics. 

From June 30th to July 3th, the European Society of Biomechanics gathered in Edinburgh for its annual congress, the main European event bringing together experts in the field of biomechanics. 

Young researchers from the group led by Professor Alberto Audenino participated in the event, who took the opportunity to disseminate some of the results of the research results from NEWBREATH, the Research Module of TINCARE aimed at developing a ventilation device to support patients in a home environment. 

The researchers presented their work on numerical modeling and experimentation related to the performance and safety assessments of ventilator devices. Specifically, they introduced a new model capable of distinguishing the effects of CPAP therapy on different alveolar health conditions. This model can provide valuable insights not only on the most effective therapy but also on the risks that patients may face during treatment.  

In addition, an experimental study was presented on the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the interfaces used for the administration of CPAP therapy to patients was presented. This study highlighted safety implications of the therapy, even when routine methods are employed in clinical practice. 

The occasion was a stimulus and allowed the sharing of progress in research on non-innovative ventilation, the focus of NEWBREATH, with European researchers working in the field of respiratory biomechanics.
