Publications and evidence

Papers, study partnerships, and conference talks that involve Deep Breath.

Deep Breath B.V. (Rotterdam) builds hardware and software for collecting, synchronising, labelling, and analysing high-resolution ICU device data, with a focus on mechanical ventilation and patient–ventilator interaction (PVI/PVA). The research platform is in use. Clinical decision support is not MDR or FDA cleared.

Papers we can stand behind

Review article Intensive Care Medicine Experimental · 2025

Let’s get in sync: current standing and future of AI-based detection of patient-ventilator asynchrony

Thijs P. Rietveld, Björn J.P. van der Ster, Abraham Schoe, Henrik Endeman, Anton Balakirev, Daria Kozlova, Diederik A.M.P.J. Gommers, Annemijn H. Jonkman

Deep Breath’s role: Anton Balakirev and Daria Kozlova are authors, affiliated with Deep Breath B.V. The paper is a field review of automated PVA detection, not a Deep Breath product validation. The author group forms the SIREN consortium.

Defining and Measuring Patient–Ventilator Interactions: 10 Fundamental Maxims

Eduardo Mireles-Cabodevila, Katerina Vaporidi, Lluís Blanch, Robert L. Chatburn

Deep Breath’s role: Referenced / highlighted in the paper. Deep Breath did not author it. The work proposes a standardised vocabulary and measurement framework for PVI — the terminology researchers and models should use when discussing asynchrony.

Studies and partnerships

Study PROVE Network · 11 August 2026

PRoVENT–TRACE — official technology partner

PRactice Of VENTilation: TRacking Asynchronies and Clinical Endpoints. Confirmation from the Steering Committee, signed by Juliana C. Ferreira (University of São Paulo).

Deep Breath’s role: Official technology partner. Infrastructure for collection, storage, and analysis of high-resolution mechanical ventilation data, including waveforms for patient–ventilator asynchrony assessment, plus site onboarding and deployment support.

Project Health~Holland · 48 months

SIREN — Erasmus MC × Deep Breath

Partners: Erasmus MC Intensive Care department and Deep Breath B.V.

Deep Breath’s role: Industry partner and data-science engineering team in the consortium. The project aims to validate and implement real-time AI-based analytics of ventilator waveforms to detect and mitigate harmful PVA. A validated decision-support system is a project deliverable — it is not a cleared product today.
