Case
Medtech solutions improve everyday life.
Breathing difficulties due to injury or disease should not present an obstacle to day-to-day living. Breas is working to devise functional and practical products for patients who need respiratory therapy. The medical needs of these patients may vary in many instances, and instruments need to be able to cover a range of applications all at the same time.

Background
Knightec Group’s assignment has been to devise a completely new design concept for the launch of the Vivo 45, a ventilator designed for day-to-day life at home. The idiom has also been applied to other Breas products and forms a basis for future product development.
Challenge
The challenge was to develop a medical device that combines advanced functionality with simplicity and ease of use in everyday life. At the same time, the solution needed to be compact, portable, and connected, while supporting both patient independence and efficient interaction with caregivers and healthcare providers.
Connected medtech for greater mobility and patient independence.
Every aspect of the Vivo 45 is designed to support mobility and patient needs. The result is a compact, lightweight ventilator with a portable battery and integrated humidifier—enabling greater flexibility in everyday life.
Complementing the device, the EveryWare Tracker app allows patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals to share and access data seamlessly across devices. With built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, the connected system improves collaboration, supports remote care, and reduces the need for hospital visits. By combining user-centered design with digital connectivity, the Vivo 45 enables more patients to live healthier, more independent lives.
Delivered Value
The solution delivers value by enabling patients to live more independent and active lives through a portable, intuitive, and connected device. Improved usability and accessibility reduce the need for hospital visits, while integrated digital features enhance communication between patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers. This results in better patient outcomes, increased comfort, and a more efficient healthcare system.
