AEYRON provides a mirror‑mounted respiratory intelligence system called Respira that continuously monitors breathing and voice patterns to detect early signs of respiratory failure in Parkinson’s patients. The device uses a non‑contact radar sensor and a voice microphone, processes data on‑device with AI, and sends encrypted alerts to caregivers within seconds, all without wearables or cloud connectivity.

Problem
Parkinson’s disease progressively weakens the muscles that control swallowing and breathing, leading to silent aspiration that can develop into pneumonia over 10–14 weeks. In senior living and memory‑care facilities, there is no continuous, passive monitoring of respiratory health, so clinicians only detect the problem after a hospitalization is required.
Solution
AEYRON’s Respira mirror replaces a standard bathroom mirror with a drop‑in unit that continuously tracks breathing movements and voice characteristics to identify early signs of respiratory decline in Parkinson’s patients. A built‑in radar sensor measures chest motion through clothing, while an integrated microphone detects subtle voice softening that precedes swallowing difficulties. All data are processed on‑device by an AI engine that learns each resident’s baseline over a week and generates encrypted alerts to care teams within seconds when anomalies appear, providing a 10‑week early warning without wearables, cloud dependence, or user interaction.
Target Audience
Primary customers are assisted‑living, memory‑care, and senior‑living facilities that serve residents with Parkinson’s disease stages 2–4, as well as their clinical staff responsible for monitoring respiratory health.
Features
- Radar sensor captures sub‑millimeter chest movements through clothing, operating in darkness without contact
- Voice microphone monitors gradual softening of speech, an early indicator of throat‑muscle weakening
- On‑device AI creates a personalized respiratory and voice baseline and detects deviations with 88% early‑validation sensitivity
- Encrypted, healthcare‑compliant alerts are sent to caregivers in under 3 seconds, with a 10–14‑week trend history view
- Mirror‑form factor installs in 15 minutes as a drop‑in replacement for existing bathroom mirrors, requiring no retrofitting or charging
- No cloud connectivity or recording; all processing and data storage remain local to ensure privacy
- Low‑cost hardware (~$80 per unit) and subscription pricing ($160 per unit per month) for assisted‑living and memory‑care facilities
