MouthLab

A medical tricorder, made real.

A closer look

10+ clinical parameters. Under a minute.

A hospital's monitoring cart, temperature, ECG, oxygen, lung function and more, captured in under a minute from a single device in the hand.

How it works

Breathe. Exhale. Done.

Sixty seconds, in two parts. Thirty seconds breathing normally, then two guided forceful exhales. Ten or more clinical parameters, captured and on their way to your care team.

Place · Before the clock

Place it in your mouth

Seal your lips around the mouthpiece and rest your thumb on the sensor. No cuff, no clips, no wires.

02
Breathe · 0 to 30 seconds

Breathe normally for thirty seconds

The passive half. Temperature, ECG, oxygen and the full cardiac picture, all read while you simply breathe.

Exhale · 30 to 45 seconds

Deep inhale, then blow out hard

One deep breath in, then a fast forceful exhale. This is the lung function test, graded to the spirometry standard.

One more forceful exhale

A second deep inhale and hard exhale. Two efforts confirm the reading, the way a clinic repeats spirometry for reliability.

Complete, and on its way

The full reading, ten or more clinical parameters, complete and syncing to your care team the moment it finishes.

Everything, at once

Ten signals. One moment.

When every vital is captured in the same breath, the numbers can finally be read against each other.

A single vital is a noun. The relationship between two simultaneous vitals is a verb, and the verbs are where early warning lives.

Different devices, different minutes. Nothing lines up, so nothing can be compared.

One capture
0
cross-signal metrics

One clock, one instant. The relationships appear.

Pulse transit time, respiratory sinus arrhythmia, cardiopulmonary coupling and baroreflex sensitivity cannot be computed from readings taken minutes apart on separate devices. They exist only when every signal shares one clock.

Deterioration rarely trips a single vital first. It shows up as a pattern across several at once, which is why multi-parameter scores like NEWS2 outperform any lone number. Studies in newborn intensive care have shown that monitoring a multi-signal heart-rate pattern, rather than a fixed threshold, can lower mortality by catching sepsis earlier.

Cuffless blood pressure, stroke volume and cardiac output are read here as trends, not as replacements for a cuff or a catheter. The impossibility without simultaneity is the claim we make without reservation.

One capture is a portrait, not a list. Every number is the same person in the same second, so at last the numbers can be read against one another.

The details

Every detail, considered.

Nothing here is incidental. Every sensor, radio and material was chosen, tuned and proven before it earned its place in your hand.

07 · The frontier · breath

Breath is the most under-read signal in medicine.

A stethoscope hears it. A spirometer measures it. A pulse-ox infers it. MouthLab captures all three at once, and one more: the morphology of the airflow itself, breath by breath, the way an ECG captures heart shape beat by beat.

Shipping todayfour signals from a single breath
RR
Respiratory Rate
breaths / min

Elevated RR is the first vital to drift in sepsis, pneumonia, and CHF, and the most missed in routine rounding.

FEV1
Forced Expiratory Volume
liters (1 sec)

The classic spirometry value used in asthma and COPD severity grading, captured here without a clinic visit.

PEF
Peak Expiratory Flow
L / min

Tracks airway constriction and treatment response, daily PEF trends predict exacerbations days in advance.

FLOW
Flow Morphology
waveform

The shape of the breath itself, concavity, plateau, scoop, a biomarker the bedside has never had at scale.

Sixty seconds of breath provides more insight than a stethoscope, a spirometer, or a pulse-ox alone, and adds a waveform medicine has never seen at scale.

On the roadmapResearch roadmap · breath

What the same breath could read next.

The airflow path that reads your lungs today carries far more than flow. The volatile chemistry in every exhale is a frontier we are actively researching, not a capability that ships now.

Saliva is the next dimension of diagnosis.

Saliva carries much of the same molecular signal as blood: stress hormones, cancer and cardiovascular markers, even hydration and sleep chemistry, with no needle and no lab. This does not ship today. It is where the platform is headed, not what MouthLab measures now.

Blood is the historical default. Saliva is the future. MouthLab is the bridge.

Saliva analytics are under active development and are not part of MouthLab's current FDA clearance. Everything in this movement describes the platform roadmap, not shipping capability.

Why MouthLab

What it means for a life.

Behind every reading is a person, a family that worries, and a clinician trying to catch it in time.

01 · At home

The clinic comes home.

A visit that once meant a long, hard trip now happens at the kitchen table.

02 · In time

A warning while it still helps.

Trouble turns up in the vitals before it turns up in how a person feels, early enough to act on.

03 · For the care team

No more blind days.

The stretches between visits stop being invisible to the people responsible for a life.

04 · For the family

Peace of mind, from anywhere.

The people who love someone can know, today, that they are all right.

05 · For everyone

Care reaches those it usually misses.

Rural, homebound, and overlooked, the people the system loses finally have a way to be seen.

06 · A life, fuller

More good days, less waiting room.

Fewer emergencies and fewer hospital stays give back the thing that matters most, time.

In the world

Real product. Real outcomes. Real homes.

One handheld device, the difference clinicians can measure, and the homes it quietly belongs in.

Four MouthLab devices arranged in a compass, each lit a different color, one blue, one cyan, one pink, one amber, showing the same handheld reading different vital signs.
01 · The device

One handheld. The whole spectrum.

Each glow is the same device listening for a different signal. Oxygen, heart rate, ECG, breath, more than ten clinical vitals in all, read through the mouth in under a minute.

A smiling clinician in scrubs holding a tablet, surrounded by live MouthLab platform cards, a falling hospitalization-rate chart, weekly adherence highlights, heart rate, an AIDI score, and a patient-alert message.
02 · The difference

Care teams can watch it working.

Adherence that climbs. Hospitalizations that fall. An alert that reaches the team the moment a reading crosses the line. When vitals come home every day, the trend becomes something a clinician can act on.

03 · At home

Care that travels all the way home.

A morning reading at the kitchen table, a visit over video, the device resting in its dock until tomorrow. The clinic follows the patient home, and daily life barely has to pause for it.

Recognition

Not our word. Theirs.
