For Asthma Monitoring
Real-World Insights into Asthma Symptoms with the RESP® Biosensor
As clinicians and life sciences professionals seek more effective asthma remote monitoring tools, wearable devices that continuously track symptoms like cough, wheeze and breathing patterns are emerging as valuable solutions. The RESP® Biosensor functions as both a wheeze detector and cough monitoring device, offering objective data beyond what can be captured through intermittent auscultation or patient-reported outcomes (PROs). In addition to providing objective insight into symptom burden alongside PROs, increasing research shows that symptoms such as wheeze, cough and shortness of breath are associated with exacerbations.³
The RESP® Biosensor is an asthma wearable device designed for remote monitoring, providing direct, reliable metrics on cough and wheeze to complement patient self-reporting and pulmonary function tests for a more complete picture of disease burden.
The RESP® Biosensor: Technology Overview
- Clinically validated asthma wearable device, 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 end-to-end solution for asthma remote monitoring
RESP® Biosensor
Wearable biosensor passively and continuously collects lung sounds including wheeze
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 on wheezing, cough and other metrics
Initial results from the study which took place at Ann & Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago showed positive feedback from patients and families as well as strong accuracy in wheeze detection compared to physician auscultation.

Is the RESP® Biosensor reimbursable?
The RESP® Biosensor is reimbursable under RPM and RTM codes.
Is the RESP® Biosensor designed for continuous long-term monitoring?
Yes. The RESP® Biosensor was designed for long-term, continuous remote monitoring with the goal of detecting changes in lung sounds passively ranging from 4 – 24 hours per day.
Which care settings is the RESP® Biosensor intended for?
The RESP® Biosensor is designed to be used across multiple care settings, including clinical trials, in-patient, transitional care, post-acute discharge, outpatient, and hospital at home.
