The Journey of Respa: A Passion for Breathing and Innovation

At Zansors, we’ve always been passionate about breathing. This passion has fueled our mission to create innovative solutions that help people understand and harness the power of their breath.

Our commitment to improving health through breathwork started long before the development of Respa Mindfulness. It began with a desire to solve real-world problems and a focus on creating something truly impactful.

The Early Days: NIH-Funded Sleep Apnea Detection

Our journey began with a project funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop a wearable device capable of detecting sleep apnea, a common condition that disrupts sleep and impacts overall health.

The goal: create a platform to monitor breathing and detect anomalies associated with sleep apnea.

Through this project, we gained invaluable expertise in breath detection. We conducted IRB-approved clinical studies, comparing our technology to the gold standard in sleep apnea diagnosis. These studies validated our approach and laid the foundation for what was to come.

Expanding Expertise: U.S. Air Force Funding for Exercise Monitoring

After success in sleep apnea detection, we shifted focus to exercise and performance. With funding from the U.S. Air Force, we developed a wearable to measure ventilatory threshold during exercise, a key indicator of when lactic acid builds in muscles, signaling fatigue.

We ran clinical studies with athletes, runners, walkers, and rowers, and conducted IRB-approved tests comparing our device against a metabolic cart, another gold standard in performance measurement.

This work refined our technology and deepened our understanding of breath detection in dynamic, high-performance environments.

Focusing on Breath Detection for Wellness: Enter Yoga and Mindfulness

With our growing expertise, we chose to specialize in yoga and mindfulness. Mindful breathing emerged as a powerful tool for mental and physical well-being, making it a natural fit for our technology.

This was a turning point. Instead of trying to solve every problem, we focused on creating a product that helps individuals track, improve, and optimize breathing patterns, whether in yoga, mindfulness practice, or everyday life.

Innovation and Patents: A Track Record of Success

As our technology evolved, we also prioritized protecting our innovations. Our efforts led to several successful patent filings.

We received an issued patent for health monitoring, surveillance, and anomaly detection (US10219753B2), alongside several design and utility patents that reflect our originality and impact.

These patents showcase our commitment to innovation and ability to create solutions that stand apart in the market.

Respa Mindfulness: Built on Expertise

Today, all of this expertise comes together in Respa Mindfulness.

Unlike generic fitness trackers, Respa is the culmination of years of research, clinical studies, and dedication to health improvement through breathwork. It’s designed for yoga practitioners, athletes, and anyone seeking greater control of their breath.
