Dual-use
One PRO platform. Multiple fields of use.
Military oxygen protocols require early monitoring, titration to normoxemia, and resource‑aware dosing – O2matic offers an autonomous closed‑loop concept currently under study for combat and prehospital environments.
Dual-use
One autonomous platform. Different frontlines.
Same closed-loop platform. Already proven in hospitals, now being explored for future use in harsher, resource‑constrained environments.
Dual-use & prehospital
- The same PRO platform, now being explored for prehospital and dual-use settings.
- Relevant where early monitoring, targeted titration and oxygen conservation are critical.
- May help reduce medic workload during transport and other high-pressure care scenarios.
- No autonomous battlefield O₂ solution exists today. Future use in these environments depends on further evidence, regulatory pathways and operational adoption.
Civilian healthcare
- 66M patients in the EU & US require supplemental oxygen therapy.
- 3M chronic patients managed at home with no continuous monitoring.
- 94.4% of oxygen errors are overdoses (hyperoxia).
- Designed to support staff by reducing repeated manual oxygen adjustments and increase patient safety.
No autonomous battlefield O₂ solution exists today.
O2matic PRO is being evaluated in the AURORA study, a DoD‑funded prehospital trial testing whether autonomous oxygen therapy can reduce medic workload, conserve scarce oxygen during prolonged evacuations, and improve outcomes for military and civilian patients.

Field applications
Where O2matic has the potential to help save lives in the field.
The same closed‑loop oxygen system can follow the patient across the entire emergency care chain – from roadside ambulance transport and helicopter evacuation to forward‑deployed field hospitals and large‑scale disaster response, when civil and military teams work side by side.
Ground Evacuation
Scenario 1 - Finite supply, stretched medicsOxygen is typically set 'high to be safe' during transport. Manual titration is hard in motion, leading to hyperoxia, faster cylinder depletion and shorter operational range.
O2matic automatically adjusts flow en route based on real‑time SpO₂, keeps the patient within target range, and reduces oxygen use without extra workload for the crew.
Extends mission range. Frees up focus for critical ABC.
MEDEVAC / HEMS
Scenario 2 - Helicopter transportNoise, vibration and limited space make continuous monitoring and manual O₂ adjustments difficult. Crews prioritise procedures and navigation; oxygen is set high and then left.
O2matic runs as a closed‑loop system in the cabin, titrates oxygen automatically, and only alarms when SpO₂ falls outside the agreed target, supporting both civilian HEMS and military MEDEVAC missions.
Improves in‑flight stability. Reduces secondary oxygen‑related injury.
Field hospital
Scenario 3 – Role 1–3, mixed teamsIn field hospitals, physicians, nurses and medics share responsibility for oxygen therapy under supply and staffing constraints. Manual titration is variable between shifts and hard to document.
O2matic standardises oxygen therapy across roles by using data‑driven SpO₂ targets, adjusting flow automatically and logging treatment for hands-off continuity of care.
One protocol, shared across doctors, nurses and medics.
Disaster and mass‑casualty response
Scenario 4 – Civil–military surge operationsDuring large‑scale incidents, many hypoxic patients arrive at once, oxygen supplies are stretched, and staff cannot continuously titrate O₂ at every bed or stretcher.
In disaster response, automated oxygen titration at each bed or stretcher lightens the cognitive load on mixed civil–military teams, so they can spend more time on triage and life‑saving interventions instead of constant flow adjustments.
Scales oxygen care when civil and military systems are under maximum stress.
Operational use case
SAVE-O₂ AI Project
A multi-center study of 300 critically ill patients as part of the large SAVE-O2 trial evaluates if automated oxygen delivery consistently outperforms manual control, even in advanced care settings. Looking at effectiveness across different skin pigmentations and reduction oxygen consumption while keeping patients in a safe oxygen range. Awaiting publication during 2026.
