Wearable Respiratory Monitor - RESP

A Respiratory Wearable Based on the Stethoscope

Traditional stethoscope auscultation has been a gold standard for assessing lung health for over 200 years, with sounds such as cough, wheeze, rhonchi, or crackles indicating blockage and other problems of the airways. 



As we set out to develop a solution for remotely monitoring patients with chronic respiratory disease, we designed the RESP® Biosensor to continuously and passively capture lung sounds—extending the temporal and geographic reach of the stethoscope and providing clinicians with a window into patient lung health.

“With this information we can predict if the patient is doing better or worse and intervene ahead of time to prevent the patient from having major complications”

The RESP® Biosensor: Wearable Device Overview

  • Clinically validated accuracy, with equivalent performance to Littman 3200 electronic stethoscope¹
  • Passively collects lung sounds such as cough and wheeze and breathing patterns to offer objective data on respiratory status passively and remotely
  • Patient-friendly form factor: wireless and discreet without interfering with daily life

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.
