We are intimately convinced that human qualities are the pillars of your success.

The company, an award-winning startup with R&D in Toulouse and San Francisco, is a pioneer in the development of non-invasive breath analysis solutions for the screening, monitoring and detection of different biomarkers in exhaled breath.

The company is developing its first product, a miniaturized breath analyzer for monitoring glucose concentration in pre-diabetics and type 2 diabetics.

The device detects the type and concentration of volatile organic compounds in breath.

The solution is pain-free, gentle, affordable, and produces significantly less waste than existing finger stick blood glucose or continuous glucose monitors.
