The size of the market
• Frost & Sullivan finds the U.S Oxygen therapy Devices Markets revenues in 2005
– $ 528.2 million
•Estimated revenues in 2012
–$ 885.9 million
The Need of the market
•Oxygen Therapy–Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)–Pulmonary fibrosis–Cystic fibrosis (CF)–emphysema –sarcoidosis
The solution
•Our proposed product is the solution
Design Overview
•Our product R&D team is split up into 3 departments. The mechanical, hardware, and the software department
Electronic Mechanical
Programming
Oxygen Caddie
Mechanical Design•Able to support the weight

Product and Service
Highly reliable automated device that holds an oxygen tank and follows the user
Low cost compared to the other solutions available for it’s benefits
The best solution out there because it eliminates the burden entirely of carrying an oxygen tank
Can be modified to other markets
Market Analysis
~14 million Americans suffer from COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and 6 million treat this disease
Treatment includes oxygen therapy
These people can benefit from our product
Not many competitors
Strategy and Implementation
Trial run at a host hospital to ensure reliability and to gain creditability among the health institutions
Spread to more hospitals locally and expand locally and then nationally
Expand to old folks homes and to individuals who can benefit from our product
Financial Plan• A profit-loss statement• Basically increase sales to increase profit• Cost decreases with mass production
