Asthma Symptoms
The main symptoms of asthma:
• Wheezing
• Shortness of breath
• A tight chest
• Coughing
When airways become inflamed, flow pressure changes
during respiration causing the airway wall to flutter. This
flutter results in acoustic energy, or wheeze. The flutter
or wheeze is a manifestation of airway flow limitation.
“If an infant presents with frequent and/or severe
episodes of recurrent wheezing they should be
diagnosed and managed as asthma, unless there is
evidence to the contrary.” Global Asthma Report 2014

• iSonea continues to have a first mover advantage with its unique proprietary Acoustic RespiratoryMonitoring (ARM™) algorithm technology.
• Our ARM technology records airway sounds to detect continuous adventitious breath sounds andmeasure the extent of wheezing caused by airway obstruction. The measurement is presented asWheezeRATE™.
• iSonea devices work like a stethoscope utilising special contact microphones, or acoustic sensors, topick up breath sounds from the lungs at the windpipe (trachea), and in the clinical devices, the chest.

AirSonea® Asthma Wheeze Monitor Device & App
The convenient and easy-to-use AirSonea device
connects via Bluetooth® with the asthma management
smartphone app to detect and measure wheeze.
The 30 second recording and WheezeRATE algorithm analysis
takes place within the app with measurements results displayed
on the smartphone screen. The results and actual sound files
are automatically uploaded to the
cloud servers so the entire history can be reviewed and shared
with doctors and other healthcare providers via secure email.
The app features asthma management diary features;
medication usage and reminders, and symptoms and triggers to
help asthma sufferers gain a better understanding of how their
condition affects them and importantly, help them better
adhere to their treatment plans. Further features including
weather conditions and pollen count are planned.

SonoSentry™1 (WheezoMeter™) and New
SonoSentry™ 2 Prototype. Standalone device
with inbuilt LCD screen.
iSonea has achieved the first clearance of an Over-
the-Counter (OTC) wheeze detection device in the
United States. With FDA clearance, the company
can market the device in the USA as an OTC
product without the need for the purchaser to
obtain a prescription from a medical practitioner.
Computation is performed on the device and a
phone, phone service or a server is not required
(however, there is additional value in being able to
extract information from the device to be placed
on a server).
iSonea is actively investigating the potential to
substantially lower the costs of production of
SonoSentry 2 to evaluate a commercial launch of
this product in China and developing countries.

WHolter™
Symptoms of asthma, including wheeze, are
generally worse at night and early morning.
The WHolter is designed for 8 - 24 hour home ambulatory
recording (nocturnal, wheeze, cough). This option of
monitoring Asthma patients and collecting data for a
period of time in their own home is important and has
excellent potential to develop service and consumables
revenues around it. WHolter uses PulmoTrack software
and currently connects to a PC via USB.

PulmoTrack® Computerised
Wheeze Detection
PulmoTrack is iSonea’s foundation product,
designed for hospital/clinic-based real-time
monitoring of wheeze and cough in the
management of acute, severe asthma in the
ER and IC, and for Pediatric Pulmonary
Function Testing and Sleep Labs. The
PulmoTrack module has a wireless connection
to a PC.
In a recent study conducted at the Department of Neonatology, Charité University Medical Centre, Berlin, Germany, wheezes were detected
using the PulmoTrack® Model 2020. “….an instrument developed for continuous tracking and recording of breathing sounds and the
detection of wheezing. Computerised wheeze detection is feasible during the first year of life. This method is more objective and can be
more readily standardised than subjective auscultation, providing quantitative and noninvasive information about the extent of
wheezing”. Puder et al BMC Paediatrics 2014

The first wave of this trend is already evident in the rapid consumer adoption of wearable sensors and smartwatches which produce data related to physical activity, although of limited or little clinical value.
• Second wave: Digital health platforms for complex diseases
The second wave includes the monitoring of symptoms and behaviour in chronic disease management, such as wheezedetection and measurement in asthma, glucose monitoring for diabetics.
• Third wave: Big data
The third wave will come with algorithms and software that can sense and interpret multiple factors and conditions that couldimpact symptoms, in order to identify risks and issues alerts for avoidance. This aspect involves the collection and analysis ofBig Data from multiple sources, including the networks of device users.

Smartphones provide an engine for this change: It is estimated that there will be 10 billion mobile devices in use
worldwide by 2016.
“We're all essentially surgically connected to our smartphones, and we're still in the early stages of
realising their medical potential.”
Dr. Eric Topol, Director, Scripps Translational Science Institute
#1 Most Influential Physician Executive in the USA, Modern Healthcare National Poll
Health conscious consumers are already embracing self-management and this is evident in the growth of wearable
fitness sensors such as Fitbit.
The continued shift toward accountable care will encourage the adoption of remote patient monitors
for chronic diseases like asthma, diabetes and cardiovascular illness, with the goal of keeping patients
out of the hospital, lowering costs and improving care.

The asthma burden to society is massive in terms of asthma
deaths, hospitalisation, emergency visits, missed days of
schooling and work.
In the USA, for example:
• 5,000 deaths per annum
• 2 million emergency department visits
• 500,000 hospitalisations
• 27 million missed days of school and work
Creates a burden cost of over $56 billion annually or $2,200
per person including both the direct and indirect medical
expenses associated with asthma, it is estimated that the
total cost is closer to $82.5billion annually, or $3,300 per
person.

• Nearly half of adults with asthma in Australia had poor asthma control and 29% needed urgent health care for
asthma in the previous year according to a recent study published in Medical Journal of Australia. 3
• 49% of the people who had died in the UK from asthma in 2012 were being treated for mild or moderate asthma
when it is likely that many of these patients had poorly controlled, undertreated asthma. 4
• 48% of adults diagnosed with asthma who were taught how to avoid triggers did not follow most of this advice 5
• Medication adherence is poor. Data suggests approximately 30% of patients do not take their medications as
prescribed.
“Although written asthma action plans have been recommended in national guidelines for the management of asthma for over 20
years, the majority of people with asthma do not have one.”

iSonea has conducted extensive market research in the US and Australia that shows our functional, user
friendly product line will meet the expectations of our customer base that includes parents and patients,
the medical profession, insurers, pharmacies and retailers.
Key Findings: Parents
• Parents of children with asthma are constantly worrying about their child’s health and wondering when the next
attack will occur and what will trigger it.
• They admit they could be more diligent and none feel like they are in complete control.
• They also find it difficult to articulate the severity of symptoms.
• ‘Asthma Guilt’ is pervasive. It’s a function of the pressure of day-to-day life overwhelming the best of intentions;
coupled with the more ‘reactive’ approach to an asthma attack rather than ‘proactive’ management. They also find
it difficult to articulate the severity of symptoms to doctors, a source of some frustration.
Adults
• Adults with Asthma (secondary market)… have more established knowledge of their asthma and “know if I’m
wheezing or not”. Certainly interested but not to the same degree as parents.

Medical Professionals’ Interest in device: Intent to purchase the AirSonea® wheeze monitoring device ranged from
60% to 95% in the various studies.
iSonea also conducted qualitative in-depth interviews with key asthma experts and a quantitative study with a total of
100 Australian GPs including 50 Paediatricians who routinely treat asthma.
• Results found that 80% of GPs and 62% of Paediatricians in the study would recommend iSonea’s new mobile
wheeze monitoring system to their asthma patients. Providing additional scientific data on the technology would
increase the percentage of these recommendations.
• In general, the product was perceived as an important management tool for patients who would benefit form
more frequent home monitoring of asthma symptoms, which were characterised as 75% of patients with unstable
asthma and approximately half of all patients with stable asthma.
Key Findings: Medical ProfessionalsKey Findings: Medical ProfessionalsKey Findings: Medical ProfessionalsKey Findings: Medical Professionals
Physicians considered home monitoring of asthma “very important”, chiefly to assist in the management of asthma
treatment plans and ensuring medication adherence. They noted that historically, the use of peak flow meters and
diaries has been met with poor compliance and reliability.

The new Board appointed in February 2014 has delivered major changes to turnaround the business
1. Overall, the business structure has been dramatically simplified, costs reduced and streamlined for clearer
focus and accountability and more robust financial controls
• Management are now based in Melbourne, Australia and Haifa, Israel. Senior Management previously resided in
multiple locations including Maryland, Boston, San Diego and New York
• $2.5 million pa taken out of management and staff costs
2. A totally new software IT infrastructure has been developed to support the AirSonea device and app. Our new
software is more robust, scalable and secure. Micro-processing upgrades have addressed firmware bugs.
Further, it provides substantially faster analysis of breath recordings and an app with a more engaging user
interface. The failed launch in Australia indicated web and app problems and the engagement of multiple
service providers situated on four continents resulted in a high cost, over-engineered and incomplete IT
infrastructure.

Trial 1:
The objective is to show AirSonea® is at least as accurate as a consensus of a panel of physicians and trainedexperts in detecting and quantifying wheeze. In the last few years, 14 successful clinical studies have beenconducted using iSonea's proprietary ARM™ technology on patients with obstructive airway disease.
Trial 2:
The objective is to study the efficacy of managing asthma in children during and after an acute attack using theAirSonea device to measure wheeze rate in an Urgent Care/Emergency Department setting.
The company expects Trial 1 to be completed by the end of October and Trial 2 by year end. However, thenumber of variables in clinical trials make it difficult to accurately predict completion dates.

General Medical Device Risks
• Medical device R&D involves medical and scientific uncertainty and long lead times and there is no certainty that any particular event will occur within a certain time period.
• Technology changes in the medical device and digital health industry are accelerating and new technologies emerge.
• Market acceptance of medical devices is uncertain and can be impacted by difficulties in marketing, acceptance by patients and clinicians, delays in marketing and the
advancement of new competitive products.
• Medical device R&D and manufacturing activities require funding over a long period of time and more working capital is often required to complete development and
commercialisation of certain products.
• Government health regulations, which are subject to change, add uncertainty to obtaining approval to market medical devices.
• Obtaining, securing and maintaining rights to technology and patents are an integral part of securing potential product value and can lead to patent disputes.
• The loss of key personnel can have an adverse impact.
• Potential product liability risks and warranty claims are inherent in the manufacturing, marketing and use of human medical devices.

iSonea Limited (ISN) is an Australian owned, public company listed on the ASX. It is a developer, manufacturer and marketer of medical devices for the diagnosis
and management of asthma and related chronic respiratory diseases.
Brief History
1996 - 2011: Company Beginnings
• In 1996 Prof Noam Gavriely M.D. D.Sc. founded company Karmel Medical Acoustic Technologies (KMAT) in Haifa, Israel. The company’s technology was based
on innovations in the field of pulmonary acoustics developed by Prof Gavriely. His translation research applied the basic physics of sound into medical and
nursing practice to enhance health outcomes and patient wellbeing.
• In 2006, KMAT (Israel) and Pulmosonix (Australia) were purchased by Salus Technologies, a listed Australian company. The group was renamed KarmelSonix
Ltd.
• In 2011, the company name was changed to iSonea Limited and a new Board of Directors and an American management team were appointed.
2011 - 2013: A major strategic error in September 2013
• A major strategic error was made in 2011 with the decision to rush the design, development, manufacture and launch in Australia of a portable monitoring
device, the AirSonea Asthma Wheeze Monitor and App. Successful FDA cleared clinical products were discontinued and the relationship with the foundation
professors in Israel terminated. The September 2013 online launch failed. The hype around smartphones and mobile health applications gave investors
unrealistic expectations of early success. The product had poor user experience and functionality, no brand recognition nor support from the medical
profession and the broader asthma community.
• This expensive and ill-conceived online launch in September 2013 had a serious impact on the company’s financial and cash position as sales revenue of only
$19k resulted.
2014: Company Turnaround
The company’s financial position was deteriorating rapidly and a new commercially experienced Board was appointed. The Board now comprises of : Mr. Leon
L’Huillier (Executive Chairman), Mr. David Ashmore, Mr. Ross Blair-Holt, Dr. Timothy Oldham and Mr. John Ribot-de-Bresac.
2015:
Appointed the company’s original medical and scientific leaders, Prof Noam Gavriely as consultant and Emeritus Prof Simon Godfrey as Senior Scientific Advisor.
