General information
- Short Summary
- The company is developing advanced textile solutions focused on respiratory health, with products designed to monitor and support breathing patterns. The Smart Breathing Shirt incorporates sensor technology within a wearable garment, enabling continuous collection of respiratory data during daily activities and physical exercise, while maintaining user comfort and functionality. They are open to commercial agreements to facilitate the dissemination of its technology and international expansion.
- Full Description
-
A company engaged in the development of biomedical technology and smart garment design. Based in Athens and the Cyclades, Greece, the company develops telecare solutions to improve healthcare for patients in remote regions, focusing on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and respiratory monitoring via advanced wearables.
The company supports the real-world validation of its telecare tools, aiming to improve the quality of life for individuals with respiratory conditions. It combines academic research with industrial application, utilizing in-house capabilities for prototyping—such as 3D printing, PrintedCircuitBoard fabrication, and laser cutting—alongside biometric data analysis and user experience design.
The Smart Breathing Shirt is the company’s primary product, integrating embedded sensors with AI to monitor respiratory function in real time and everyday conditions. Designed to offer the comfort of standard clothing, it incorporates IoT and data analytics technologies to support the remote monitoring of key respiratory parameters.
The global rise in respiratory conditions—including COPD, asthma, post-COVID complications, and stress-related disorders—demands scalable, user-friendly, and non-invasive monitoring solutions create the need for the Smart Breathing Shirt. Traditional tests like spirometry offer only occasional data, often missing key fluctuations between appointments. The Smart Breathing Shirt transforms this model, enabling continuous, real-world respiratory monitoring—whether the user is resting, working, moving, or sleeping. This Shirt allows professionals to observe clinically meaningful trends in natural environments.
This 100% IP-owned wearable is embedded with ultra-thin, textile-based sensors that capture high-resolution respiratory data: rate, rhythm, depth, frequency, flow, and anomalies. These sensors work silently and securely, transmitting data to a cloud platform where advanced algorithms and AI tools process, visualize, and interpret it.
Backed by end-to-end security and medical-grade safety, the Smart Breathing Shirt enables:
-Remote patient monitoring with actionable insights
-Early detection of exacerbations and abnormalities
-Longitudinal data tracking for clinical research
-Behavioral pattern recognition for prevention
-Stress, anxiety, and wellness management tools
The Smart Breathing Shirt is currently undergoing clinical validation across Europe, supported by national and EU innovation programs. It has received the European Commission’s Seal of Excellence and is part of the Interregional Innovation Investments (I3) initiative—recognizing its impact potential across healthcare systems.
The company collaborates with institutions including Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Leicester, Loughborough University, and the University of the Aegean, developing evidence-based protocols and enabling interdisciplinary research in digital health, rehabilitation, sports science, and mental wellness.
Their research ecosystem includes:
-Pulmonologists and clinical rehab specialists
-Biomedical engineers and data scientists
-AI and UX design experts
-Patient networks and support communities
-Government health and aging policy agencies
This integrated model ensures the Smart Breathing Shirt is technologically advanced, ethically responsible, safety validated, and clinically relevant across global care environments. - Advantages and Innovations
-
Key strength of the company is its strategic location in the Cyclades, which provides an ideal environment for validating telemedicine solutions in areas where access to healthcare facilities is limited. By implementing advanced Internet of Things (IoT) protocols, the company ensures reliable data transmission from remote and geographically challenging locations. The system is designed for ease of use, offering minimal setup, user-friendly applications, and seamless integration with broader healthcare infrastructure.
The company places strong emphasis on research and development, supported by active collaborations with leading academic institutions. These partnerships contribute to the ongoing advancement of sensor technologies, machine learning algorithms, and garment design, with a focus on enhancing measurement accuracy and wearer comfort. Sustainability is also a guiding principle, with deliberate choices of materials and manufacturing processes that prioritize durability and environmental responsibility.
With in-house capabilities for rapid prototyping—such as 3D printing, laser cutting, and PCB fabrication—the company is able to efficiently iterate and test product designs, ensuring safety, reliability, and a positive user experience. This agile development approach supports faster time-to-market and positions the company at the forefront of wearable health technology.
The company also collaborates with clinical partners to evaluate the Smart Breathing Shirt across diverse patient groups, strengthening its clinical effectiveness and credibility. Through its commitment to practical innovation, inclusivity, and sustainable design, the company aims to contribute meaningfully to the evolution of healthcare, wellness, and performance monitoring—particularly in underserved and remote communities. - Stage of Development

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
The business development partner is expected to play an active role in the formulation, development, and implementation of marketing and distribution strategies across international markets. The partner should demonstrate flexibility in responding to changing market and technology dynamics and uphold a high standard of consistency throughout the course of the collaboration.
Distributors will play a central role in expanding the international presence of the Smart Breathing Shirt. Their key responsibilities include securing certifications from relevant regulatory authorities, localizing the product to meet regional standards, identifying and evaluating high-potential markets, and establishing partnerships with leading healthcare institutions to drive adoption. Through close collaboration with distributors, the company aims to ensure effective market penetration and full compliance with local regulatory and operational frameworks.
Technology partners, particularly those with expertise in telemedicine and IoT solutions, will be instrumental in integrating the Smart Breathing Shirt into existing health management systems. These collaborations are intended to enable seamless data exchange between the Smart Breathing Shirt, cloud infrastructure, and electronic health record (EHR) platforms. Such integration will enhance system interoperability and contribute to more streamlined and effective healthcare delivery.
The Company also invites leaders in pharma, clinical innovation, hospital systems, universities, research hubs, and health policy to partner with them in shaping the future of respiratory health.
-For pharmaceutical companies, it enables real-time digital biomarkers and remote, high-compliance clinical trials.
-For hospitals and clinics, it reduces staff burden while enhancing continuous care.
-For academic partners, it supports advanced studies in physiology, behavior, and sensor-based intervention.
These partners will conduct clinical trials, integrating the Smart Breathing Shirt into their existing Telehealth infrastructure, and providing structured feedback to support further development and optimization of the technology. - Type and Size of Partner
