Start-Ups
Eben Build
Start Up Zone
Ebenbuild GmbH is a Munich-based deep-tech healthcare company developing physics-based, patient-specific digital twins of the human lung. The company’s platform transforms standard CT data into validated digital lung models, making lung mechanics and function quantitatively accessible at the individual patient level.
By enabling detailed analysis of airflow, tissue mechanics, and aerosol transport across the entire lung, Ebenbuild provides a robust technological foundation for applications in pharmaceutical research and development as well as for regulated clinical decision support in respiratory care.
Based on this technology, Ebenbuild developed Twinhale, a simulation platform designed to support the development of inhaled drugs and drug–device combination products. Twinhale integrates CT-derived lung geometries, breathing patterns, and in vitro aerosol characteristics to predict regional lung deposition and the local dose at the site of action. By simulating structured virtual patient cohorts, the platform enables in silico trials that quantify variability in drug deposition across patient populations. These simulations support key development decisions, including device selection, formulation optimization, dose robustness assessments, and the generation of model-integrated evidence for bioequivalence, bridging, and regulatory discussions.
Ebenbuild’s approach replaces assumptions with physics-based evidence, supporting more informed decisions in drug development and, over time, in the clinical management of patients with severe pulmonary diseases.
