THE FUTURE OF NON-INVASIVE RESPIRATORY MONITORING
01
No tubes. No wires.
Non-invasively monitors patient’s breathing, gives reliable alerts for deteriorating volumes, apnea and obstructive breathing
02
Cost-effective
Monitors breathing at a fraction of the cost of existing monitoring technologies by utilizing off-the-shelf hardware.
03
Intuitive & Simple
Straight-forward to use and interpret by all medical staff. Output consists of standard respiratory parameters.
MEET BREATHEVISION
OUR STORY
BreatheVision was founded in 2013 on the need to develop a simple method for early detection of breathing deterioration in patients under conscious sedation... The founders built on their expertise in machine vision and missile navigation algorithms to invent a way to quantify breathing through analyzing chest micro-movements based on low-cost off the shelf hardware.
OUR VISION
To improve patient safety by monitoring essential breathing parameters through machine learning technology and providing immediate warning.
OUR PRODUCT
Our first product, the SafeSed monitoring system, was developed for medical staff to continuously monitor respiration during sedation procedures, such as colonoscopy.

MEDICAL NEED
Adverse events associated with sedation
“Drug-induced respiratory depression is the primary cause of morbidity associated with sedation and analgesia”
American Society of Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates 2016
Continuous respiratory monitoring
"…hospitals are expected to address monitoring for …respiratory
depression related to opioids for post-operative patients…. monitoring of ventilation may warrant … to assess breathing"
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), 2014
Current monitoring methods
“Staff should … not to rely on pulse oximetry alone because pulse oximetry can suggest adequate oxygen saturation in patients … experiencing respiratory depression, especially when supplemental oxygen is being used.”
The Joint Commission Sentinel Event Alert, 2012
“Capnography devices often indicate problems where none exist… At worst, frequent alarm errors may lead to alarm fatigue and a tendency to ignore valid alarms.”
American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2012
Future monitoring methods
“Quantitative monitoring of the volume of expired gas is strongly encouraged.”
American Society of Anesthesiologists, 2015

CLINICAL VALIDATION
BreatheVision performs clinical validation of the SafeSed monitoring system at Meir Medical Center (Kfar Saba, Israel). The clinical trial will evaluate safety and performance of the SafeSed system for monitoring patients undergoing elective gastrointestinal endoscopy.
The SafeSed system will be compared with conventional methods of respiratory monitoring - capnography and pulse oximetry.
Patient enrollment to the trial will start in November 2016.
