NuvoAir

What NuvoAir does

NuvoAir (operating commercially as NuvoAir Medical) is a Boston-based, venture-backed digital health company that delivers virtual-first specialty care for patients with chronic cardiopulmonary conditions including COPD, asthma, heart failure, hypertension, and sleep disorders. The company's care model combines FDA-cleared at-home monitoring hardware with mobile applications, a provider dashboard, and multidisciplinary clinical teams to provide continuous remote care aimed at predicting exacerbations and reducing hospitalizations. Founded in 2015 with a European research and development base in Stockholm, Sweden, NuvoAir now operates clinics in Prescott and Tucson, Arizona alongside virtual care services covered by more than 100 health plans including Anthem, Centene, Humana, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare, and Medicaid.

The core technology stack centers on the Air Next Spirometer — a Bluetooth-connected, FDA 510(k)-cleared and CE-certified Class IIa medical device validated against ATS/ISO standard curves — paired with the NuvoAir Home mobile application (iOS/Android, supporting English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, and Dutch), the Air MD professional spirometry app, and the NuvoAir Cough companion app. The platform integrates with Apple HealthKit, Hailie® asthma sensors, and the proprietary NuvoAir Aos inhaler add-on sensor. The provider-facing dashboard unifies outreach, diagnostics, and analytics. Sub-brands include Incredible Heart (cardiology-focused care including weight management and immigration medical examination services) and NuvoAir Cough. Disclosed clinical outcomes include a 31% reduction in all-cause hospitalizations, 52% decrease in total hospital days, 77% drop in all-cause readmissions, and 27% reduction in total medical spend among COPD patients in a published research preprint.

NuvoAir operates a hybrid revenue model spanning (1) subscription-based virtual care services reimbursed by health plans, (2) hardware sales of the Air Next spirometer and consumable disposable turbines, (3) decentralized clinical trial services for pharmaceutical companies and CROs, and (4) clinic-based fee-for-service revenue. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales targeting health plans, ACOs, and risk-bearing entities (e.g., Privia Medical Group Georgia with 515,000 patient reach and Cary Medical Management for rural North Carolina), partnerships with health systems taking over specialty clinics (Dignity Health Yavapai Regional Medical Group), direct-to-consumer mobile app distribution via the iOS App Store and Google Play, and company-operated physical clinics. The company has raised approximately $28 million across disclosed funding rounds since 2017, including a $12 million Series A led by AlbionVC with Novartis participation in 2021 and a subsequent approximately $10.7 million round in January 2022.
