At Web Summit 2024, I had an insightful conversation with Vangelis Lympouridis, CTO of ATRIDE, at their booth. They showcased a game-changing wearable deviceโa smart t-shirt that monitors respiratory health in real-time.
๐ Why Does This Matter?
๐ธ Over 2.5 billion people worldwide suffer from respiratory issues, including sleep apnea, chronic lung conditions, and anxiety disorders.
๐ธ Existing respiratory tracking solutions are often lab-based, intrusive, and expensive.
๐ธ The wearable health tech market is booming, with over 500 million users today, expected to double in the next 5 years.

๐ก ATRIDEโs Smart T-Shirt: A Breakthrough in Respiratory Monitoring
Their AI-powered smart shirt provides continuous, real-world respiratory insightsโnot just snapshot data.
โ
Monitors lung function with precision
โ
Tracks breathing patterns for wellness, anxiety, and sleep
โ
Enables early intervention for chronic conditions
โ
Seamlessly integrates into daily life
๐ The Impact of wearable health device by ATRIDE
Unlike traditional devices, ATRIDE captures both abdominal and thoracic breathing, making accurate lung health monitoring accessible outside clinical settings.
Their business model focuses on:
๐น Partnerships with hospitals, sports teams, pharma, and research institutions
๐น AI-driven health insights for users and professionals
๐น Data monetization & exclusive licensing for tailored portfolios

๐ฎ Future Vision: Where ATRIDE is Headed
Their roadmap includes:
๐ Expansion into elite sports, mental health, and wellness industries
๐ฅ Collaborations with hospitals and health institutions
๐ง AI-powered diagnostics for personalized breathing therapy
๐ฏ Why This Startup Stands Out
ATRIDE is redefining respiratory health tracking, just like how wearables revolutionized fitness tracking.
If youโre working in HealthTech, AI in healthcare, or sports tech, this is a startup to watch!
