Groundbreaking medical technology with a Swedish heritage
Non-invasive measurement of gases
The innovative technology in Neola® that allows for continuous monitoring and surveillance of preterm born infants’ lungs is called GASMAS (gas in scattering media absorption spectroscopy) – a groundbreaking method for measuring gases in body cavities that has been patented by Neola Medical. GASMAS was originally developed by researchers at Division of Atomic Physics at Lund University and has been further refined by Neola Medical.
GASMAS’ biomedical application currently enables non-invasive measurement of lung volume changes and oxygen gas concentration directly in the lungs. This method is completely revolutionary and unique and is based on the specific light absorption by oxygen and water vapor gas molecules compared to the absorption by liquid and solid compounds of tissue.
GASMAS is currently being applied in a medical device that can monitor the lungs in preterm born infants. A clinically proven and commercialized GASMAS technology has potential to fill even more gaps in health care by offering a safe and non-invasive method to measure volume changes and composition of gases inside cavities of the body.

The technology founders
The technology founders include Professor Sune Svanberg, a distinguished physicist who served on the Nobel Prize election committee for many years, alongside his wife, Professor Katarina Svanberg, a renowned medical doctor.
The gas measurement technology is based on years of research at Lund University. The first lung measurements using the GASMAS technology were conducted as part of a research project and were published in 2011 by Neola Medical’s Chairman of the Board, Märta Lewander Xu, during her doctoral studies under the supervision of Professor Sune Svanberg and with Professor Katarina Svanberg as co-supervisor.
