The Team

Working to Help Prevent the Common Cold

Innovation in action.

The amazing application of historical, scientific studies on infectious disease prevention by two medical students could change how we seek treatment and attempt to prevent the common cold.

At RHT, we are committed to making innovative upper respiratory wellness products.

Who we are.

In 2019, a team of medical students studying infectious disease research at Indiana University School of Medicine discovered that heated air may aid in fighting the common cold. In the effort to apply the findings of over 10 studies conducted over seven decades, the team identified the possibility to reduce the symptoms of a common cold and even the likelihood of getting sick.

In 2021, Respiratory Health Technologies was established as a life science company in Indianapolis based on its proprietary wellness device patent application and the start of product development and market testing.

Respiratory Health Technologies, Inc (RHT) is a start-up in the biotech and life science arena, focused on developing products that address and treat respiratory ailments. RHT is a start-up backed by Boomerang Ventures, an Indianapolis-based venture fund and studio on a mission to help solve the most pressing healthcare challenges facing the world today.
