Breath Calorimetry: What is it?
Calibre™ is the first wearable of its kind, but the science behind it is well known and established. Breath measurement is considered by medical experts as one of the most accurate ways to understand your body but has been widely unknown to the public.
Breath calorimetry, a.k.a. indirect calorimetry, measures gas exchange (oxygen intake and carbon dioxide output), which is then analyzed to determine the amount of energy and type of nutrient fuel used at any given time.
Long story short: your breath says a lot.
So why Calibre™?
While breath calorimetry has been relied upon for decades, there was no easily accessible device for ordinary people to use in order to tap into this biometric gold mine. Historically, this type of data could only be found in high-end sports labs and hospitals, where subjects would be tethered to tubes and heavy equipment. The old paradigm was expensive and inconvenient, only available to competitive athletes or special patients.
Enter Calibre™: the first wearable fitness and metabolic tracker using real-time breath calorimetry.
Measuring 50 times per second, Calibre™ reads and captures oxygen intake, carbon dioxide production, respiratory flow & volume, and more. Taking these measurements and complicated formulas, the Calibre™ app is then able to help determine a multitude of metrics like the calorie burn rate, %carb vs. %fat burned and more.
When Calibre™ is used with our purpose-based protocols you will receive reliable and accurate data.
Let's not forget the important world of respiratory biometrics as well. With modern science showcasing the benefits that are derived from breath control and awareness, Calibre gives you direct access to your breath rate, volumes, exhaled and peak VO2 and CO, oxygen uptake and CO2 production and more with remarkable accuracy due to the unique and elegant pass through ventilatory design.
Calibre collects at the source and in realtime providing limitless discovery and beneficial insights.
Still not convinced?
We have mastered the science and performed countless tests to ensure that you get the most reliable results possible. Calibre’s sensor technology has been tested against state of the art medical-grade equipment and provided a remarkable 99.5% repeatability in our lab testing.
Calibre's data output and accuracy has also been validated in a study published in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports on September 11, 2023 titled: (Accuracy of respiratory gas variables, substrate, and energy use from 15 CPET systems during simulated and human exercise)
