She also presented a poster describing fluidIQ’s innovative respiratory technology at the meeting.

“The RIS is synonymous with advancing efforts in the respiratory space and is one of the most important audiences for fluidIQ’s innovation,” said Barnes.

fluidIQ’s CEO, Matt Vogelhuber, RPh., said “Speaking to the RIS audience. including investors who are keenly interested in respiratory-related innovations, was a valuable opportunity for fluidIQ, particularly at this time as the company prepares to submit technology for regulatory clearance and looks toward the next phase of the company’s growth.”

The meeting provided an opportunity for fluidIQ to engage directly with both investors as well as researchers who were interested in the company’s fluidic-based, electricity and battery-free miniature resuscitation technologies.

The company’s miniature adult resuscitator, HOPE inVent™, is aimed at disrupting the emergency medicine space by replacing antiquated 70-year-old manual resuscitation tools that are known to be cumbersome for responders and risky for patients. The HOPE inVent™ was featured in the NIH Director's Blog in December 2022.
