Makani Science
Each year 4M people die in the early postoperative period. A major cause is respiratory complications. The standard of care for monitoring pulse oximetry and capnography are woefully inadequate. Recent studies have shown that pulse oximetry misses over 90% of episodes of incipient respiratory failure. The Makani Science monitor is the world's first wireless, BandAid®-sized sensor capable of measuring both respiratory rate and volume. Accurate, comfortable to wear, and intuitive to use; it provides actionable data to permit early detection of respiratory failure. Our team has over 175 years of medical device experience spanning engineering, marketing, and clinical/regulatory affairs.
