Adrian Ang's medtech company helps children with asthma using smart wearable devices
In the What Matters To Me series, a Generation T honouree describes what they do, why they do it, and why it matters
As a former sufferer, Adrian Ang knows the misery of childhood asthma. In response Aevice Health, the company he founded with associate professor Ser Wee, his mentor from Nanyang Technological University School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, has developed AirSone, a wearable device that uses algorithms to record and analyse asthma symptoms in real time, allowing parents to track their children’s symptoms while they sleep and doctors to improve diagnosis and treatment plans. Here, he describes his work in his own words.
I’ve always dreamed of building something to benefit people one day. Having suffered from childhood asthma myself, I can immediately relate to the anxiety that parents go through to keep their child’s condition under control. Perhaps this was what led me to my calling as a health tech entrepreneur.
