Spire

Spire builds respiration sensing wearables that take bio-sensing beyond step tracking. Our sensor continuously and accurately tracks respiratory parameters (such as inhalation and exhalation time, apneic events, etc.) and activity (steps, gait, posture) in realtime, streaming raw data to a smartphone or watch. Each day we collect, store, and process over 2^32 data points. Our first product, a consumer wearable available at www.spire.io, uses respiratory patterns to infer a wearer’s state-of-mind (tense, calm, focused). A complementary app provides feedback that lowers tension and increases calm and focus in everyday life. Clinical applications of the device and technology are currently being piloted. Some early customers feedback: @trevin: "Day 1 experience with @spire_inc has been terrific. The focus on breathing is a game changer for wearables." @amyleerobinson: "I haven't been this excited about a wearable since, well, ever." Winner of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award.
