Our solution can help transform the way physicians interact with patients experiencing wheeze while they are away from the clinic. wheezo®, our FDA 510(k) cleared medical device, the respiri™ app (patient user interface) and our health portal can help different health organisations and providers connect with patients to improve collaboration across the care setting.
- Wheeze is detected and the system provides a WheezeRate for each breath recording
- WheezeRate history can be viewed longitudinally for each patient via the Respiri health portal
- Wheeze recordings are available for clinician review and immediate playback
Class II medical device
- Integrates into Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) programs
- breath sensor is non-invasive and easy to operate with no clinical training required
- History of WheezeRates and high-quality playback of wheeze recordings available immediately for clinician review
wheezo® is intended to detect and record abnormal breath sounds (continuous adventitious breath sounds or CABS) at the windpipe (trachea), reported as WheezeRate in adults & children ≥2 years. It is not for diagnostic use. A licensed health care professional’s advice is required to understand the meaning and importance of the wheezo® readings.
We can integrate our innovative wheeze detection technology with established RPM platforms and programs. Respiri will support you to deliver high-quality care to patients whilst minimizing the administrative demands.

Are you a Provider or Health Plan interested in a demonstration of our solution? We would love to hear from you.
Thanks to wheezo® patients can take breath recordings from home easily, helping medical professionals hear and detect wheeze like never before.
- Connect the device to the respiri™ app via Bluetooth®
- Place device on windpipe to record breath sounds
- Relax and breathe evenly for 30-60 seconds
The respiri™ mobile app runs a wheeze detection algorithm to identify wheeze and display a wheeze rate.
A licensed health care professional’s advice is required to understand the meaning and importance of the wheezo® readings.

In addition, the respiri™ app also supports patients to log and track self-reported symptoms and triggers. Recordings are stored with weather and environmental data like pollen counts and air irritants present at the time of recording.
Patients can build a personal profile to share WheezeRate history, breath sound recordings and self-reported data with their physicians.
Allows patients to keep a record of self-reported symptoms and triggers
Provides patients and physicians with their complete data history including WheezeRates over time
Patient
Benefits
- Empower your patients. With more data physicians can work with patients helping them gain a better understanding of their wheeze.
- Set medication reminders to encourage better compliance.
- See pollen & air irritant information stored at the time of recordings to see if these may be affecting WheezeRate.
Provider
Benefits
- More data than ever before; to assess and monitor a patient’s wheeze outside clinic visits.
- Longitudinal data around self-reported symptoms, triggers, and medication use to paint a detailed picture of symptomology.
- A new source of revenue.
Health Plan
Benefits
- Customize care, Respiri, in partnership with its local distributors, will work with you and your providers to develop health programs.
- Real-time analytics, delivering tangible ROI metrics.
Historically wheeze has been challenging to assess. The current gold standard for wheeze detection requires a clinically trained health professional using a stethoscope or relies on a patient’s subjective assessment, understanding and recall.
During consults with clinicians, parents of children with wheeze did not notice the wheeze which was present and detected by doctors in 39% of cases1.

wheeze
The algorithm analyses the breath recording spectrogram to detects wheeze as well as a respiratory specialist2
A database of 189 recordings was created from 56 patients aged 21-87 years old. Three experts were used; two respiratory physicians and one respiratory technology expert.
The x-axis is the wheeze rate calculated using the experts consensus and the y-axis is the wheeze rate calculated by the wheezo® algorithm. The value of R squared represents the percent of variation shared between the two variables.

Your physician may have suggested that you use wheezo® together with the respiri™ app to record and detect wheeze. In partnership with your physician, you will create a history of wheeze, store wheeze recordings and log self-reported information about symptoms and possible triggers. This data can be shared with healthcare professionals to give them a clearer picture of your wheeze.
Thanks to wheezo® patients can take breath recordings from home easily, helping healthcare professionals hear wheeze like never before.
