Respiratory Nanotechnology For Continuous Monitoring

RespiraFibre uses a 9‑micrometre nanotechnology sensor to add continuous breathing waveform monitoring to routine oxygen-delivery and respiratory interfaces, helping teams notice meaningful change sooner within existing workflows.

Why this matters
70%
Inaccuracy rate in traditional intermittent manual RR monitoring.
250K+
Annual preventable global hospital deaths due to late deterioration.
$30B+
Potential global healthcare savings through reduced ICU admissions.
Direct Source Sensing
Move beyond motion‑artifacts of SpO₂ and ECG. Our nanotechnology captures breathing directly at the source.
Predictive Recognition
Analyze high‑res waveform morphology to surface markers of distress before alarms trigger.
Closing the Gap
Provide clinical‑grade visibility during high‑risk periods when staff are away from the bedside.
Manual checks are error-prone
Subtle changes can be missed
Documentation burden adds friction

Our Solution

Ultra-sensitive nanotechnology fibres embedded into oxygen-delivery devices for accurate, continuous respiratory monitoring.

Imperceptible Sensors

Ultra-fine fibres (~1/10th the width of a hair) detect every breath without discomfort or workflow disruption.

Real-Time Data

A lightweight reusable node wirelessly transmits high-fidelity breathing data to secure hospital systems (e.g. EPIC).

AI-Powered Insights

Enables earlier detection of deterioration, with future expansion to classify cough, speech, and shortness of breath.

Sustainable Design

Disposable sensors with reusable modules — ultra-low cost, zero electronic waste, scalable globally.

Reduced ICU Admissions

Continuous monitoring allows earlier intervention, helping to reduce ICU admissions and improve patient outcomes.

Shorter Hospital Stay

Early detection of deterioration can lower average length of stay (LoS), freeing beds and reducing costs.

How it works

A three-step nanotechnology and Edge‑to‑Cloud architecture designed for high‑stakes clinical monitoring.

  1. Universal Interface Integration

Our humidity‑responsive fibre is pre‑integrated into standard nasal cannulas and masks. No new wearables, no skin‑perfusion issues—just seamless sensing within existing routine workflows.

  1. Direct-Source Waveform Capture

By sensing directly at the nose and mouth, we eliminate the motion noise that plagues SpO₂‑derived monitoring. The result is a clean, motion‑tolerant respiratory waveform with a high signal‑to‑noise ratio.

  1. Edge-to-Cloud Intelligence

Real‑time data is processed through our Edge+Cloud architecture, applying predictive analytics to surface pattern changes and alerting staff via a centralized UI before clinical deterioration escalates.

What Clinicians Say:

"A valid, reliable and autonomous source of respiratory rate data would be enormously valuable"
