The escalating occurrence of conditions like asthma, sinusitis, and various allergies due to dry air is raising consumer consciousness about the importance of maintaining specific air humidity using humidifiers. For example, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, a US-based community organization, in its AAFA 2022 Allergy Capitals Report March 2022, stated that 'hay fever,' formally known as seasonal allergic rhinitis, is one of the most widespread allergic diseases. Roughly 7.7% of adults and 7.2% of children have been identified with this disease. Therefore, the surging occurrence of illnesses like asthma, sinusitis, and other dry-air related allergies is anticipated to increase the demand for humidifying equipment.

Prominent businesses in the humidifying equipment market have turned their attention to the creation of novel, innovative products such as heated humidification. This technology aims to boost comfort and facilitate respiratory function during home mechanical ventilation. The mechanism behind heated humidification is fairly straightforward: heat is applied to raise the temperature of water vapor, thereby augmenting its effectiveness in adding moisture to the air. For example, a New Zealand medical device firm, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, introduced the F&P my820 System in August 2024 specifically designed for home mechanical ventilation. This cutting-edge respiratory humidifier enhances home mechanical ventilation by supplying heated humidification suitable for both invasive and non-invasive therapies, targeting both adult and pediatric patients. It's equipped with a state-of-the-art built-in sensor capable of auto-adjusting to varying environmental temperatures, guaranteeing optimal functionality under unpredictable conditions. Besides, this technology lessens circuit condensate and decreases the clutter of device wires, making its setup more user-friendly.
