One breath.
Objective signals of brain recovery.
Lometrics is developing a breath-based approach to detect physiological changes associated with brain injury. By analyzing breath samples over time, we aim to generate objective insight into concussion and recovery.
The Problem
Brain injury assessment is still guesswork
Symptom checklists. Balance tests. Patient self-report. Today's tools rely on what can be seen and reported — not on what's actually happening inside the brain. The result: athletes cleared too early, injuries missed, and recovery left unmonitored.
Symptoms, Not Signals
Current assessments depend on a patient accurately describing how they feel and a clinician interpreting it correctly. Under pressure, both fall apart.
No Objective Test
There is no FDA-cleared point-of-care test for concussion. Clinicians make critical decisions without any objective signal to inform them.
No Clear Decisions
Without fast, objective data, return-to-play and return-to-duty timelines are either conservative guesses or dangerous gambles.
Applications
Designed for where concussions happen
Sports & Sideline
Designed to provide objective data in clinical settings, helping athletic trainers and team physicians make more informed return-to-play decisions.
Military & Defense
Aims to support brain injury assessment in austere environments, where traditional tools may be limited and conditions are high-stakes.
Pediatric Concussion
Young patients often struggle to describe symptoms accurately. A breath-based approach provides an objective signal that does not depend on self-report.
Clinical Research
Standardized, quantitative data for longitudinal concussion studies — the kind of repeatable measurement the field has been missing.
