About Us
Our history
Founded in 2023, Spiromatics was born from a shared vision among experts in Pulmonology, Biomedical Engineering, and Electrical and Computer Engineering to bring precision and reproducibility to lung disease assessment. From the outset, our mission has been to transform lung imaging and spirometry into powerful tools for phenotyping, monitoring, and predicting the progression of obstructive lung diseases such as COPD, asthma, and bronchiectasis.
Building on decades of combined academic and clinical experience, our founders developed a suite of validated computational and AI-driven biomarkers that capture both classical and novel physiological indicators of lung health. These innovations, supported by peer-reviewed publications and patents, enable deeper insights into disease mechanisms and treatment effects.
Today, Spiromatics continues to advance the frontier of quantitative lung analysis, collaborating with pharmaceutical, medical device, and research partners worldwide. Our commitment to scientific rigor, transparency, and innovation drives everything we do as we help shape the future of precision respiratory medicine.
Our mission
At Spiromatics, our mission is to advance precision respiratory medicine by providing reliable, quantitative biomarkers from lung imaging and spirometry. We aim to enable early detection, accurate phenotyping, and prediction of disease progression, empowering clinicians, researchers, and industry partners to develop more effective therapies and improve patient outcomes worldwide.
