Introduction and sustainability
Jeroen and Lien, the founders of Aspyro, come from Belgium. They founded Aspyro because they saw the burden of oxygen therapy and in particular of the nasal cannula. Not only do people stare at the nasal cannula, it also causes irritation on the ears, leaves red marks on the cheeks and easily slips out of the nose. That's why they came up with the Oxy-glasses. These are glasses especially for oxygen users that allow them to breathe better, despite suffering from a respiratory disease like COPD. With the Oxy-glasses, our ambition is to let oxygen users live happier lives.
Innovation
The Oxy-glasses are 3D printed eyewear especially ofr oxygen users. They have a groove in the frame in which the nasal cannula can be inserted. This makes oxygen therapy less visible, more comfortable and more practical.
