StethoMe

Seed

Making everyday breathing the next vital sign category tracked at home.

AI🇺🇸 United States

Overview

What They Do

Every major vital sign—heart rate, oxygen, temperature, sleep, and weight—has become an everyday home tracking habit. Breathing is the last frontier. We take 20,000 breaths a day, yet families have had no way to monitor lung health at home until symptoms escalate into a midnight emergency. StethoMe bridges this gap by turning pulmonary health into an intuitive everyday vital sign. Our solution combines a precision, medical-grade smart stethoscope with companion app intelligence and B2B API licensing: 1. Record in seconds: A parent or individual places the handheld smart stethoscope on the chest for 30 seconds to capture acoustic lung patterns. 2. Instant clarity: Our proprietary AI engine analyzes the acoustics against over 1.25 million annotated clinical sound recordings, translating complex auscultation into an intuitive Breath Index with clear traffic-light triage. 3. Actionable care: Families receive immediate, calm guidance on whether to monitor at home, use an inhaler, or share acoustic audio recordings directly with their physician with one click. With core R&D complete, CE Class IIa clearance secured, 14 peer-reviewed publications, and an ongoing Johns Hopkins clinical trial evaluating up to a 50% reduction in unnecessary pediatric antibiotics, StethoMe is scaling across two parallel tracks: Direct-to-Consumer adoption in the US and API licensing to global consumer health device platforms.

Challenge

Problem We Are Solving

Every other major vital sign—heart rate, temperature, blood oxygen, sleep, and weight—has become an everyday home tracking habit. Yet we take ~20,000 breaths a day, and families have zero way to measure lung health until severe symptoms force an emergency visit.
