Archeon was created in Besançon in January 2018 by Alban De Luca and Pierre-Edouard Saillard. The two engineers designed EOlife, a device to assist manual ventilation in cases of cardiorespiratory arrest, which is the leading cause of death worldwide and has a survival rate of less than 5%. The system automatically measures and analyses the patient’s respiratory variables in real time, to deliver enough oxygen while avoiding hyperventilation.
