personalRespiri Limited (ASX:RSH)("Respiri" or the "Company"), an eHealth SaaS Company supporting respiratory health

m nagement, today announces a £2 million NIHR-Funded UK paediatric asthma clinical trial awarded to King's College, London that will assess the impact of the wheezo® when combined with a standard integrated care approach for asthma (the control arm), for their effectiveness and cost-utility.

The Technology Enhanced integrAted asthMa care (TEAM-care) trial is a three arm, randomised, 30-month, 1,464 patient clinical trial that aims to assess outcomes for children with asthma using a technologically enhanced integrated care pathway to address an unmet clinical need by building the clinical and health economic evidence base for NHS adoption of new technologies for asthma self-management, treatment optimisation, and monitoring. The primary endpoint of the TEAM-care trial is unscheduled health service use (consultation in primary, secondary, or out-of-hours care where a participant presented with symptoms or signs consistent with acute asthma) versus control. Key secondary endpoints include child-health related quality of life, asthma control, use of medicines and primary or secondary healthcare services use. The trial is expected to commence in Q4 2022, with results expected by the end of 2023 and interim data available for analysis as the trial progresses. See Appendix 1.

The co-principal investigators of the study are Dr Ingrid Wolfe, Director, Institute for Women and Children's Health, Reader in Paediatrics and Child Health at King's College, London, Consultant in Paediatric Population health at Evelina London Children's Hospital , and Professor Jonathan Grigg, Professor of Paediatric Respiratory and ForEnvironmental Medicine, Centre for Genomics and Child Health, Queen Mary University of London. After a rigorous selection criterion, wheezo® was selected by the study investigators as the preferred intervention for remote asthma

m nitoring.

Dr Ingrid Wolfe/Jonathan Grigg said "We are delighted to be awarded this grant to test the benefits and value of technologies to improve asthma outcomes for children. There is real potential for improving asthma outcomes for children through this work."

Mr Marjan Mikel, CEO and Managing Director of Respiri said "The world class key opinion leaders who have successfully been awarded this grant, fully understand the importance of RPM solutions in respiratory medicine, especially in children, as does the NIHR given the significant cost of asthma to the UK healthcare system. It is pleasing the NIHR have funded this trial, as the TEAM-care trial will provide robust health economic evidence for potential NHS adoption of new RPM technologies like wheezo®, which we believe will show positive health outcomes for asthmatics and a lower the cost burden for government funded health systems with this major trial."

Mr Mikel added, "We are excited to be part of this study. For too long asthmatics and healthcare professionals have lacked the tools to better manage and monitor asthma to improve health outcomes. Technology has been available in the market for the two largest chronic disease states, being heart disease and diabetes to help with measuring and monitoring their conditions. It's pleasing to finally see that asthmatics can also reap the benefits of new

onlytechnologies just like other chronic disease sufferers and we are now at an exciting phase to deliver this with this clinical trial. Not only is this the NIHR funded study a great vindication of the wheezo® device but it also provides a funded study that enables Respiri accelerate the process to get this new technology into patient hands faster."

The Cost to the UK health System is Substantial

The potential benefits of improving asthma control are substantial, with the annual cost of asthma in the UK of £2.3 billion. The costs of an asthma attack in children with well controlled asthma is 3.5 times lower than those with uncontrolled asthma; and the cost of caring for a child with asthma is higher than cost of an adult1. In the UK, 1 in 11

usechildren suffer from asthma.

personal In choosing wheezo® from many other available technologies, the trial aims to investigate better solutions for patients Forwith asthma. It is evident in recent studies that asthma is the most common long-term condition among children, yet

utcomes are often poor, with preventable exacerbations and avoidable mortality.

Adoption of new technologies by the NHS does require rigorous evidence of clinical effectiveness and health economics are required. As Respiri has an exclusive, perpetual and royalty-free license to use the outcomes of the TEAM-care study, the Company believes the significant size and breadth of the study, when measured against the best available standard of care, will provide the necessary level 1 evidence to support clinical adoption and NHS support, if successful.
