The new funding will be used for the OneBreath's expansion into India, Eastern Europe, and Africa. OneBreath will also secure regulatory approvals in Europe and the US, the report detailed.
OneBreath was co-founded by Matthew Callaghan, Bryan Loomas, and Vijay Simha. The Bangalore-based medical device firm develops low-cost and portable mechanical ventilators for intensive care patients, the report stated.
