Breath-based diagnostics of respiratory infections
Our breath analysers identify common respiratory infections, even before the manifestation of symptoms
Respiratory infections are a growing burden — amplified by antimicrobial resistance and strained healthcare systems
13.1B episodes,
2.5M deaths worldwide annually
20–50% could be prevented through early screening and isolation
11.1M global healthcare worker shortage by 2030
1 in 6 lab-confirmed bacterial infections are resistant to antibiotics
20–50% of antibiotics are used inappropriately worldwide
We are offering
One device. Complete diagnostic solution
- Rapid and precise detection.
- Diagnostic in 3 minutes
Target sensitivity (> 90%) and specificity (95–99%) on a par with amplification methods - Ease of use.
- Handheld, standalone
Non-invasive
Automated diagnostics; no additional reagents - Early diagnosis.
- Avoid unnecessary isolation and broad-spectrum antibiotics
Reduce disease severity and infection transmission
Reduce related costs - Multiplexity.
- Simultaneous detection of multiple pathogens within one device
One breath, three minutes — all it takes to get an accurate diagnosis
Our mission
Faster, smarter, and more accessible respiratory diagnostics at point‑of‑care
- Differentiate between bacterial and viral infections up to 30% reduction in unnecessary broad-spectrum antibiotic prescriptions
- Provide first line of diagnostic tool at home or in low-resource settings
- Improve isolation decisions and lower transmission risks by 20%, as well as hospitalisations
- Reduced need for invasive tests like blood draws or nasopharyngeal swabs
- Accelerated treatment decisions based on pathogen detection by 1–3 days
