## About

Based in California, US, and founded in 2018, Respira Labs, Inc., is a MedTech company focused on the development of a clinical-grade wearable device, intended to measure and monitor indicators or markers of lung dysfunction in humans. The firm also provides data insights to help people optimize their respiratory health. In February 2022, Respira Labs, Inc. raised USD 1.8 million in grant co-led by new investors The National Science Foundation and The National Institutes of Health, with participation from another new investor.
As of March 2022, the company is being led by its founder and CEO, Maria Artunduaga, and employs 20 employees.

Respira Labs, Inc. engages in the development of a wearable device called Sylvee 1.0, that will quantify a person's respiratory health over the course of two weeks by continuously monitoring numerous elements such as trapped air, heartbeats, pulmonary volumes, temperature, and breathing sound. The company's device uses acoustic resonance technology to monitor lung function and flag abnormalities, allowing COPD, COVID-19, and asthma patients to receive medical care at the proper time and avoid further respiratory health deterioration.
The firm’s smartphone application also offers data insights to help patients optimize their health and empowers them to manage and track their own health from the comfort of their own homes. As of February 2022, the company’s products are in the prototyping stage.

Respira Labs, Inc. intends to use the February 2022 funding to continue the development and production of its wearable device, Sylvee 1.0.
