A smart respiratory muscle training (RMT) device

Indian medtech, Xplore Health Technologies, has come up with a first-of-its-kind respiratory muscle training (RMT) device called Airofit PRO in collaboration with Airofit, Denmark. Lying at the intersection of advanced Medtech and modern respiratory medicine, it is the world’s first personal data-driven smart respiratory training system.

Possessing the ability to pair with a smartphone, Airofit PRO can truly personalize the breathing training experience for anyone making their respiratory muscles stronger, faster, and more efficient. Importantly, the device can train both inspiratory and expiratory muscles, another unique feature.

Essentially, the device works by subjecting the diaphragm and other breathing muscles to resistance training, an exercise involving resistance wheels providing adjustable but restricted airflow to the individual. To explain, since the resistance causes fatigue in breathing muscles, it gets compensated by muscle tissue growth thereby making respiratory muscles more robust allowing longer and deeper breathing.

Features

• The device checks vital lung capacity every day and tracks various parameters of lung health improvements every day.
• Offering 17 unique breathing sessions, the device has a real-time live guidance platform that guides a person through all exercises and sessions while tracking his progress derived from real-time data.
• The device addresses other related aspects of breathing such as respiratory strength, vital capacity, anaerobic threshold, and relaxation.
• For a new buyer of the product, the company has announced an offer of 90 days free trial of its premium features, including goal-specific training programs.
