Respiration Monitiring Reinvented
“The Makani Science breathing sensor offers the promise to continuously monitor a patient’s pulmonary function – respiratory rate, tidal volume and minute ventilation – wirelessly and noninvasively.
"It is a simple, direct and intuitive way to know how the patient is breathing.”
Market Opportunity
Global market for respiratory monitoring devices⁴
(pulse oximetry, capnography, spirometry, peak flow meters)Exponential growth of outpatient medical and dental procedures using mild or moderate sedation
Frequent use of powerful opioids for post-operative pain management
Aging population afflicted by chronic conditions, such as obesity and cardiovascular disease, that is at higher risk for sedation-related respiratory failure
Our Solution
It enables healthcare professionals to immediately detect and manage respiratory events with no lag time
It is a wearable patch sensor that continuously monitors breathing – respiratory rate, relative tidal volume and minute ventilation.
The patient’s respiratory waveforms are monitored in real-time on a mobile platform, such as smart phones, tablet computers, or other portable computers.
