Continuous Auscultation:
Novel Insights into Lung Health
Traditional auscultation with a stethoscope has been the gold standard for assessing lung health for over a century, with abnormal events, such as cough, wheezing, rhonchi, or crackles providing reliable indicators of blockage and other problems of the airways.
As auscultation has been limited to episodic, in-person exams, Strados Labs developed the RESP® Biosensor to extend the temporal and geographic range of stethoscopes, providing clinicians and researchers with greater insight into patient respiratory health.
Our technology, backed by numerous publications and awards, is used globally by life sciences companies to measure treatment effects and in healthcare settings to enhance patient monitoring and disease management.

The RESP® Biosensor: Technology Overview
- Clinically validated accuracy, with equivalent performance to Littman 3200 electronic stethoscope¹
- Passive collection of lung sounds such as cough and wheeze to offer objective data on respiratory status passively and remotely
- Patient-friendly form factor: wireless and discreet without interfering with daily life

How It Works
An fit-for-purpose solution for remote monitoring of lung health
RESP® Biosensor
Wearable biosensor passively and continuously collects lung sounds and physiological data
RESP® Cloud
Captured data are securely and wirelessly transferred to HIPAA-compliant cloud for overread
Patient Reports
Once overread is complete, client receives detailed patient reports
Track Patient Progress Objectively and Remotely

Actively Seeking Research Collaborations
We’re actively seeking clinical and academic collaborators to expand the evidence base for objective cough and lung sound monitoring. Partners may be eligible for in-kind support.
Filling a Gap in Standard of Care
While pulmonary function tests, episodic auscultation, and patient-reported outcomes remain standard of care in respiratory care and research, RESP® addresses key limitations of each approach.
