A Northern Ireland woman has been given a national award for her entrepreneurial drive which was inspired by personal circumstances.
Susan Kelly, from Derry, is the co-founder of Respiratory Analytics, an AI-led respiratory device, aflo™, for those with asthma. The design comes after she witnessed her partner and two children being hospitalised due to life-threatening asthma attacks.
Almost 90% of sufferers do not master the right technique to get the best benefit from their inhalers and aflo™ has been designed to do this automatically for them.
