My name is Michał [/ˈmʲi.xaw/] Swoboda. I specialize in product design and development. I like to work on novel product platforms in the medical and consumer space. My company, Alpha Devices Corporation, focuses on developing fun, interesting, and useful products using digital manufacturing technologies. Previously, I co-founded RightAir, Inc, a medical device company responsible for developing the first, fully-wearable cuirass ventilator, where I worked as Chief Technology Officer. I graduated from Drexel University with a Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering in 2017.
This $225k grant has been awarded to develop and test a novel respiratory aid device (AIR-AD) for moderate and severe COPD patients.
