- Samay — Respira Labs is developing the first wearable device to measure “trapped air,” an early marker of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). No reliable and validated methods currently exist to detect COPD exacerbations in time for early intervention and prevention. By leveraging the power of non-invasive acoustic sensors, audio signalprocessing, machine learning and Acoustic Resonance Index Analysis (ARIA), our device will fundamentally revolutionize COPD management by predicting and preventing attacks at the patient’s home, significantly improving health outcomes and patient quality of life while dramatically lowering health care costs.
