VOCSN & ALS

"To the people who helped develop VOCSN and to everyone getting it out there, I can't thank you enough! You have changed the fight against ALS and I know you will not stop now. This disease destroys people. It slowly robs you of everything you have. But what you are doing here is giving people hope to remain active while getting the best equipment in one machine. You have given me new hope that amazing technology like VOCSN will keep me living with ALS, not dying from it. I still have many things I want to accomplish and VOCSN is going to be there coming along for the ride."

Pat Quinn, Founder of Quinn 4 the Win and Co-Founder of the Ice Bucket Challenge – Yonkers, NY

The ALS Association

Partnering for better respiratory care education

Ventec Life Systems and The ALS Association are developing a comprehensive education program to provide information for people living with ALS and caregivers about how integrated respiratory care can positively impact ALS treatment. 

READ ABOUT OUR PARTNERSHIP
The impact of ALS on breathing is one of the most daunting aspects of the disease and one for which people with ALS and their caregivers should prepare for early in their journey. To help explain the respiratory changes to expect, we partnered with The ALS Association to develop a series of videos and resources for people living with ALS and their families to better understand symptoms and help improve quality of life.

Why We Created VOCSN

Inspired by patients and caregivers

Ventec’s founder, Doug DeVries, was inspired to create VOCSN after his father elected not to use mechanical ventilation following his ALS diagnosis.  VOCSN was developed by patients and caregivers to streamline care, extend quality life, and create every day mobility so that no patient would have to make the same decision as Doug’s dad.
