Ebenbuild Secures Funding to Enhance Digital Twin Technology
Ebenbuild, a pioneering force in respiratory health technology, has successfully secured Euro 2.3 million from the prestigious European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator program. This funding will significantly propel the development and launch of their ambitious digital twin platform, which aims to optimize clinical and commercial applications in respiratory care.
Market Potential of Digital Twin Platforms
The digital twin technology is set to target the expansive in silico trials market, estimated at Euro 15 billion. This innovative approach has the potential to reshape critical decision-making in Intensive Care Units (ICUs), marking a pivotal moment for respiratory health management. With their unique software, Twinhale, Ebenbuild endeavors to redefine how pulmonary drug delivery is approached, significantly benefiting healthcare providers and patients alike.
The Twinhale Platform: A Game Changer
Twinhale stands out as the very first scalable simulation tool designed for patient-specific, physiologically accurate predictions of drug deposition in the lungs. By leveraging Ebenbuild’s proprietary platform, pharmaceutical and medtech companies can now access a cost-effective method for digitally simulating drug delivery in the lungs. This innovation is not only aimed at reducing trial failure rates but also at expediting time-to-market for essential medications.
Successful Collaborations and Validation
In the pursuit of excellence, Ebenbuild has already conducted pilot studies utilizing Twinhale with notable industry players, PARI Pharma and Pieris Pharmaceuticals. The successful validation studies have demonstrated Twinhale's capability to predict the localized drug deposition with remarkable precision, far surpassing existing models. This groundbreaking technology provides crucial insights that are typically inaccessible through traditional testing methods.
Support and Future Directions
Fully supported by investors like HTGF and Bayern Kapital, Ebenbuild is on a trajectory to penetrate the rapidly growing Euro 5 billion in silico trials market. Beyond the initial funding, the EIC has pledged to invest up to €10 million in future equity financing rounds, solidifying their commitment to fostering innovation in the field.
Vision for the Future of Respiratory Health
Dr. Kei Müller, CEO and Co-founder of Ebenbuild, shared a compelling vision for the organization: “Our goal is to establish itself as the leading health intelligence platform for managing respiratory diseases. Twinhale marks just the beginning of our journey. We envision our core platform powering future regulated products geared towards optimizing mechanical ventilation and managing chronic respiratory diseases.”
Innovating Decision-Making in Drug Development
Dr. Maximilian Grill, Head of In Silico Trials at Ebenbuild, expressed enthusiasm for how Twinhale reduces attrition rates in respiratory drug development. He highlighted the generation of unique datasets that could potentially lead to regulatory acceptance, paving the way for innovative strategies in companion diagnostics.
A Comprehensive Roadmap Ahead
Ebenbuild is not stopping with Twinhale. Their ambitious roadmap includes expanding from preclinical simulations to clinical-grade decision support systems. The company is also developing software aimed at optimizing mechanical ventilation for patients facing lung complications, tapping into a substantial Euro 10 billion market that demands rapid feedback and tangible economic advantages.
