The hardware

Connected inhalers, two ways.

Respiro connects inhaled therapy through the hardware route that fits the programme: RS01X, the fully integrated connected evolution of the widely used RS01 capsule DPI, or smart inhaler sensors for inhalers already selected, launched or familiar to patients. Both capture dose and inhalation-technique data for the same Respiro platform.

Choose the route that fits the therapy.

RS01X carries the RS01 device heritage forward as a fully integrated connected inhaler. Add-on smart inhaler sensors bring the same Respiro capture layer to inhalers a programme has already committed to.

RS01X connected inhaler

The connected evolution of Plastiape's RS01 capsule DPI: Respiro sensing is fully integrated in the familiar capsule-inhaler format.

  • Sensing integrated into the inhaler
  • Co-developed with Plastiape, the device manufacturing and supply partner
  • Captures peak inspiratory flow, duration and volume

Retrofit

Add-on sensors

Clip-on modules, co-developed with Plastiape, that bring Respiro sensing to the inhalers patients already hold, without changing the core delivery device.

  • Fits common formats: capsule DPI, pMDI and multi-dose DPI
  • Captures dose timing plus format-specific technique signals
  • Respiro app, data platform, dashboards and APIs

Two hardware routes, one data platform.

Partner

Hardware programmes are co-developed with Plastiape, the manufacturing and supply partner.

Capture

Dose events and device-specific technique parameters are captured at the inhaler.

Sync

Inhaler-use records flow to the Respiro app and data platform.

Use

The same signal powers patient feedback, clinical workflows and partner evidence.

The add-on range

Add-on options for common inhaler formats.

Explore add-on options for different inhaler formats. The records and technique details available depend on the selected sensor model.

What the sensors read

Every inhalation, measured.

Each device captures the technique parameters that matter for its inhaler type: the raw signal Respiro turns into records of doses taken, inhalation-technique information and real-world evidence.

Time Flow Peak Inspiratory Flow 62 L/min Inhaled Volume 1.1 L 1.7 s Inhalation Duration

Only 31% of patients use their inhaler correctly — the rest make technique errors that stay invisible until something measures them.Sanchis et al., systematic review of inhaler technique, Chest 2016 — 144 studies, 54,354 patients.

A single inhalation, described against ranges from published studies for this type of inhaler — a basis for technique conversations, not a measure of lung function.

Validated

Measurements you can trust.

RS01X validation puts Respiro's on-device sensing against a laboratory reference, for inhalation duration, volume and peak inspiratory flow in the study configuration.

Where they fit

Hardware is one layer of the platform.

A connected inhaler is never just a device. It's the capture layer of Respiro, and the data it produces is what becomes evidence.

The layer it lives in Respiro Connect

The devices are the capture end of Respiro Connect: the integration layer, with the SDK and APIs partners build on.
