Respiratory rate is the vital parameter that first changes with disease progression.
Today, manual breathing rate counts are performed, along with the other vital parameters (Pulse, BT, Temperature, SpO2) of nursing staff 1-3 times per day per patient.
Manual breathing rate counts have measurement bias both due to patient and caregiver factors.

Technology
Defensibility
We have issued class IIB patent the EU. Our technology is completely proprietary. There are no other consumer wearable medical sensor in the market can meet the accuracy necessary to monitor respiratory rate. The team, patent and a first mover advantage should make the product defensible for some time.
