LifeSaveAir® wins the 2025 Artur Fischer Inventor Prize from the bwStiftung

LifeSaveAir® by Jespira impresses at the 2025 Artur Fischer Inventor Prize: 3rd place for life-saving innovation

On July 24, 2025, a major milestone for Jespira was celebrated at the awards ceremony for the Artur Fischer Inventor Prize Baden-Württemberg: Nabil Chehade, lead developer of the LifeSaveAir® product, secured 3rd place for Jespira in the "Private Inventors" category, outperforming 78 other participants – and thus earning nationwide recognition for an invention that can save lives.

What is LifeSaveAir®?

LifeSaveAir® is a manual first-aid device for choking emergencies – designed to remove foreign objects from the airways when seconds count. In critical moments when the Heimlich maneuver does not work or cannot be performed, LifeSaveAir® provides a safe, effective alternative – without the risk of internal injuries.

This practical solution was developed by Jespira with everyday situations in mind in which children, seniors, or adults are particularly vulnerable.

Recognition for a real everyday solution

The jury praised the submission by Nabil Chehade as a technically mature, highly relevant social solution – especially because the device offers laypeople an intuitively usable aid in one of the most dramatic everyday emergencies: Respiratory arrest due to choking.

Third place is therefore not only a success for the Jespira team, but also a sign of the growing importance of smart health tools for the home.

Inventor Prize as a springboard for meaningful innovations

The award underscores the importance of the Artur Fischer Inventor Prize as a platform for marketable, practical developments. In the same category, a rapid test for determining antibiotic effectiveness (1st place) and a portable cooling system for long-term medications (2nd place) were also awarded.
