Pneuvo
A Reusable Breath-Based Early Detector for Infectious Respiratory DiseasesPneuvo is a reusable breath-based diagnostic device designed for daily at-home early detection of respiratory infectious diseases. Leveraging gas chromatography and disease breathprint comparison, it aims to enable accurate, asymptomatic identification of illnesses like COVID-19, Influenza, RSV, and Tuberculosis—without generating single-use plastic waste. Designed for multigenerational households, Pneuvo reduces the environmental and logistical burden of pandemic testing while supporting real-time behavioural interventions.
