FiBAN Case Hearing: Alveos (Online)
Alveos is building the first wearable that reads breath acoustically and helps people steer their state in real time. Alveos One sits inside the shirt, measures breathing continuously with a patent-pending acoustic sensor, and taps the wearer when stress builds, guiding a short reset. Rings and watches only estimate breathing from pulse, and 92% of alveos' Kickstarter backers already own a wearable like Oura, Whoop or Apple Watch.
Respiratory rate validated in a University of Kent study: 94.6% of readings within 2 breaths/min at rest (bioRxiv preprint, 2026)
204% funded on Kickstarter ($100k+, 350+ backers), with 120+ paid pre-orders since
First production units with beta users now, next batch in November and US launch in January 2027
Manufacturing signed with Fineltec (FI/EE), BOM ~$57 at 1,000 units for ~70% device gross margin
