Blackhawk's Life AI Corp Advances Its Asthma Attack Prediction Project

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 5, 2023 / Blackhawk Growth Corp. (CSE:BLR);(Frankfurt:0JJ) (the "Corporation" or "Blackhawk"), is pleased to report on the progress of its asthma attack prediction project, Asthmatic AI after visiting with scientific collaborators this past week.

Whilst the Company progresses with the pre-transaction requirements to complete the Hardenbrook Group acquisition, we are pleased to provide an update on Hardenbrook's portfolio company Asthmatic AI. Asthma is a long-term disease that causes inflammation and swelling of the airways. This results in the narrowing of the airways that carry air from the nose and mouth to the lungs. Asthma symptoms can be triggered by allergens like dust or pet dander, certain foods, environmental factors and exercise. Asthma can be deadly and there is no cure for it (in the US ten people die from asthma every day). According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, asthma is one of the most common and costly diseases in the United States. From 2008-2013 the average annual economic cost of asthma was more than $81.9 billion in the US including medical costs and loss of work and school days, with a significant burden to the health care cost of families dealing with asthma.

Life AI Corp's scientific collaborators have started recruiting subjects and are collecting data to build machine-learning models and AI algorithms for reliable asthma attack prediction and prevention.

Life AI Corp is working on several new globally scalable health tech-focused AI companies that are conducting research at a leading research institution, collecting data and creating machine learning models for new product development in a variety of health domains.

Justin Hanka, Chief Executive Officer of Blackhawk Growth Corp said "We are pleased to see the progress of this exciting project unfold. Asthma is a debilitating condition which causes broad health, societal, emotional, and financial distress to families. We are excited by the hope that these asthma attack prediction models integrated to wearables will offer to individuals and families dealing with the condition".

Life AI Corp is conducting leading research in asthma attack prediction and prevention, early detection of autism and prediction of negative mood states such as depression and anxiety for early prevention and intervention. It is also developing a learning model for human performance optimization and longevity. With enough clinical data, Health AI models can be productized and integrated to digital devices such as smart watches and mobile devices to accurately support health monitoring, deliver health interventions and promote health optimization and longer living.
