Worn by the patient, the Aerosolve Helmet captures exhaled breath and draws it through a vacuum and a HEPA filter (which removes the virus) while allowing oxygen therapies – and thus it serves as a compact, personal negative pressure room. Negative pressure rooms are expensive and rare. The Aerosolve Helmet is over 100X less expensive and 22X more effective than a negative pressure room.

Patients suspected of having COVID-19 could simply don the helmet in any setting (hospitals and public spaces) to isolate them and prevent further transmission. An oxygen tube fitted with a nasal cannula was passed through the helmet to treat COVID-19 patients rather than intubating the patient. Results were published in peer-reviewed journals. Immediate and demonstrated benefits include:
● Patients: Enables use of non-invasive treatments and avoidance or delay of mechanical ventilation.
● Front-line workers: Health care workers and first responders will benefit from significantly decreasing the dangers of being exposed to respiratory droplets and aerosols from patients with COVID-19 via containment and filtering.
● Transporting soldiers/patients: Whenever a patient with a respiratory disease such as COVID-19 enters a waiting room, an ambulance or closed environment such as an airplane, the Aerosolve helmet can be used to prevent virus transmission to people around the patient.
● Field Hospitals: The Aerosolve helmet can be used to convert any bed into an ICU bed with a negative pressure environment - especially impactful in low-resource settings, field hospitals etc.
