Optimizing Breathing Interventions in Clinical Studies

Prana is a groundbreaking wearable device and mobile app designed for clinical research and medical studies investigating guided breathing exercises. It provides real-time biofeedback and adherence tracking, ensuring participants follow prescribed breathing protocols accurately. With applications across many conditions including COPD, asthma, migraines, anxiety, chronic pain, and hypertension, Prana enables researchers to validate and monitor respiratory interventions in both clinical and home-based settings.

Bridging the Gap in Breathing Protocol Research

Over 3000 studies on ClinicalTrials.gov explore breathing exercises as interventions, yet ensuring participant adherence and proper technique remains a challenge. Prana provides quantifiable adherence tracking, real-time feedback, and seamless data sharing, ensuring researchers obtain reliable, high-quality data from controlled breathing protocols.

📌 Currently Supporting a Research Study at Harvard – Prana is actively being used in ongoing clinical research, demonstrating its value as a tool for standardizing and verifying breathing interventions.

Key Benefits for Clinical Research

  1. Enhancing Participant Adherence: Prana's wearable device and companion app provide haptic and visual guidance, enabling study participants to easily follow specific breathing exercise protocols prescribed by researchers. The platform ensures proper technique and tracks adherence, allowing participants to complete sessions independently, reducing the need for researcher supervision.
  2. Accurate Data Collection & Sensor-Driven Insights: Prana's advanced sensors and signal processing ensure precise tracking of respiratory patterns and posture, allowing researchers to collect accurate, real-time data from study participants as they perform controlled breathing exercises.
  3. Seamless Data Sharing: Researchers receive breath-to-breath compliance data, enabling real-time or retrospective adherence tracking in both on-site and decentralized trials.
