In respiratory alone, readmission costs increase by up to $38,000 pp, readmitted excess mortality risk increases to 39.4% and ICU throughput increases by 50%. <\/p>\n<p class=\"max-w-3xl mx-auto text-lg text-slate-300\">Until the Ribbon Device, there has been no non-invasive continuous ambulatory monitoring solution for early detection of change in both respiratory volume and rate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"max-w-3xl mx-auto text-lg mt-4 text-slate-200 font-semibold\">Our solution, the Ribbon device, has the potential to flag early respiratory compromise within hours, eliminate delayed diagnosis, and enable earlier, more cost-efficient intervention for better patient outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- What is Ribbon Section --><\/p>\n<section class=\"mb-16 p-8 bg-white rounded-lg shadow-md\">\n<div class=\"grid md:grid-cols-2 gap-8 items-center\">\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"text-3xl font-bold mb-4 text-gray-900\">Value Proposition<\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-lg mb-4\">Ribbon is a chest worn, non-invasive ambulatory Medical device.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-lg mb-4\">Ribbon continuously monitors lung volume, respiratory rate, heart rate, skin temperature and movement, on every breath.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-lg mb-4\">Unlike other monitoring methods, the Ribbon device measures ambulatory lung volumes continuously and easily.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-lg mb-4\">Ribbon provides early warnings of physiological changes in lung volume, that can be used by Doctors to manage patient conditions or predict and prevent exacerbatory events.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-lg font-semibold text-tcd-blue\">There is no widely adopted, non-invasive solution for continuous lung monitoring of respiratory volume outside the ICU, which our KOLs have identified as the key unmet need.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bg-gray-100 p-6 rounded-lg shadow-inner\">\n<h4 class=\"text-2xl font-bold mb-3 text-center text-tcd-blue\">Continuous &#8216;Respiratory Volume&#8217;
