Respira
Innovative sweat patch for diagnosing cystic fibrosis
Respira is a proprietary wearable diagnostic patch that quantifies sweat chloride and sodium levels—the gold-standard biomarkers for Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Our integrated hardware and software solution delivers laboratory-grade accuracy at the point of care, eliminating the need for complex equipment and specialized training.
Our vision: universal access to critical diagnostics
We are building the foundational platform for CF management—from initial newborn screening to longitudinal therapy monitoring for all age groups.
