The Problem

Respiratory monitoring is difficult to access and hard to use

Respiratory testing introduces unique design challenges. Users must correctly record breathing sounds, understand their results, and trust the accuracy of the technology. Many existing solutions rely on expensive medical equipment or complicated workflows that create barriers for everyday users.
  • Respiratory screening often requires specialized clinical equipment
  • Patients lack visibility into daily respiratory patterns
  • Health data is difficult to interpret without medical guidance

The Solution

AI-powered respiratory health monitoring from your smartphone

Virufy introduces a mobile-first platform that allows users to analyze respiratory sounds through simple cough recordings. By leveraging machine learning, the system delivers instant insights, helping users better understand their respiratory health while providing accessible screening tools.
  • AI analysis of cough recordings to detect respiratory patterns
  • Clear health insights translated from complex medical data
  • Seamless connection between users and healthcare professionals
