Problem
Most people breathe around 20,000 times per day, yet breathing patterns remain unmeasured and untrained, leaving respiratory function as an invisible factor in health and performance. Traditional approaches either ignore breathing entirely or treat it only when it becomes a medical issue, missing the opportunity for proactive optimization and skill-building.
Solution
VITAE provides a structured respiratory intelligence platform that combines in-person breathing assessments with app-guided training. The process begins with a 45-minute BreathProfile assessment at clinics in Zürich or Lugano, which measures breathing at rest and in motion to establish a personalized training baseline. From this reading, VITAE creates a custom training plan delivered through its app, with guided sessions for morning, evening, and reset practices. The platform emphasizes measurable progress through re-testing, allowing clients to track improvements in respiratory control, stress regulation, and overall resilience. VITAE positions itself as a training tool rather than a medical treatment, with a clear boundary that it does not diagnose or treat medical conditions.
Target Audience
Primary customers are individuals seeking to optimize respiratory performance and stress regulation, including executives, athletes, and health-conscious professionals, as well as businesses looking to offer respiratory training programs to employees through a corporate partnership model.
