Breathe ilo is the pioneering company behind the world's first fertility tracker to use breath analysis technology for ovulation prediction. Here’s how they value engineered and outsourced production of their cutting-edge device to launch internationally.
Breathe ilo's journey began when its founder, Dr. Horst Rüther, and his wife were struggling to become parents. Alongside fertility researcher Professor Wildt, they began to explore a correlation between CO2 levels in breath and the stages of the female menstrual cycle.
Their successful use of breath monitoring technology in their own fertility quest, led the entrepreneurial couple to develop and market the breathe ilo device.
Breathe ilo is a discrete and portable device that measures CO2 levels in the breath of users to track and predict the menstrual cycle. It transmits hormone data that indicates fertility status to a smartphone app. A self-learning algorithm gets to know the user better with each cycle, helping make its predictions of fertility windows ever more accurate.
