VentAI
Intelligent Mechanical Ventilation for Better Decisions.
VentAI is an R&D programme exploring regional lung mechanics, multimodal physiological signals and AI-assisted decision support to help clinicians personalise ventilation and improve patient outcomes.
Regional Lung Intelligence
Understand ventilation and mechanics across different lung regions.
Physiological Integration
Combine respiratory signals, ventilator data and imaging insights.
AI Decision Support
Interpretable models to inform ventilation strategies in real time.
Safer, Personalised Care
Support lung-protective ventilation and improve outcomes.
Conventional ventilation sees the lungs as a single unit.
Current ventilators rely on global measurements such as tidal volume, peak pressure and compliance, which may not reflect regional differences in ventilation, recruitment and lung mechanics. This can make it challenging to optimise ventilator settings for individual patients, particularly in conditions such as ARDS, pneumonia and post-operative respiratory failure.
Turning complex respiratory data into usable insight.
VentAI explores how physiological sensing, regional measurements and machine learning can provide a deeper understanding of lung mechanics, helping clinicians make more informed and personalised ventilation decisions.
Multimodal Data
Ventilator waveforms, respiratory mechanics, imaging and physiological signals.
Regional Modelling
Estimate regional compliance and ventilation distribution.
Interpretable AI
Models designed to be transparent, clinically meaningful and trusted.
Decision Support
Suggestions to inform ventilator adjustments, not replace clinical judgement.
From data to better decisions.
Sense
Acquire respiratory signals and regional measurements.
Understand
Model changing mechanics, recruitment and heterogeneity.
Recommend
Generate interpretable decision-support suggestions.
Validate
Test models against physiology, outcomes and clinical judgement.
From global numbers to regional understanding.
We aim to move beyond whole-lung measurements to explore how regional respiratory intelligence can help clinicians understand where ventilation is going, how the lung is responding and how to optimise settings for better, safer outcomes.
Research and Development
VentAI is a research concept and is not a clinically validated, regulatory-approved or commercially available medical device. Any future implementation will require appropriate engineering, validation and regulatory assessment.
