Breezing: Next-Generation Indirect Calorimetric Technology
World-renowned, award-winning U.S. professors invented Breezing metabolic technology. Mayo Clinic fellow, Dr. Forzani, led a team that designed Breezing ProTM and Breezing MedTM. Breezing’s
breakthrough sensor technology accurately determines Resting
Energy Expenditure (REE), i.e. Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR), and
Respiratory Exchange Ratio (i.e. respiratory quotient at resting
condition) through indirect calorimetry using a single stamp-sized
sensor cartridge to precisely measure both oxygen (O2) and carbon
dioxide (CO2). Breezing’s FDA-cleared cleaning/disinfection protocol
ensures safe use. CLICK HERE FOR DEMO.
Breezing ProTM is used at Harvard University, Northwestern University Sports Program, Zulal Wellness Resort, Numa Sports Training, ELAV Sports Science/R&D, etc. Breezing MedTM is used at Mayo Clinic, Banner Health, private physician clinics, and many others worldwide.
Awards Received: Top 10 winners in 2018 ACA Innovation Challenge, Finalist in 2020 R&D 100 Awards in science and technology.

2. Breezing MedTM: FDA-Cleared Medical Devices
Breezing Med TM intended uses include research and clinical trial studies, obesity management and/or prevention of obesity and related diseases, and remote patient monitoring. Breezing MedTM is the only FDA cleared device that provides remote assessment features. Breezing MedTM precisely measures REE/RQ, helps physicians prepare tailored medical nutrition meal plans via Breezing/Telediets, develop tailored exercise programs for patients, and accurately monitor patient REE/RQ to effectively sustain patient weight after surgery.
Importance of Precise REE/RMR Measurement: National Institutes of Health (NIH) Nutrition for Precision Nutrition, Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and American College of Sports Medicine have recommended that personalized treatment of weight management to improve weight loss outcomes includes precise measurement of REE.
Is It True that REE/RMR Could Be Determined Accurately by Measuring Either O2 or CO2? The answer is “no”. Indirect calorimetry accurately determines REE, i.e. RMR using the Weir equation by only accurately measuring both O2 & CO2. CLICK HERE for “Indirect Calorimetry (IC) in Clinical Application and REE determination,” Journal of Internal Medicine: “In order to prevent under- and over-feeding and their related complications, it is important to accurately assess REE in individual patients and to ensure adapted nutrition support. IC is considered as the gold standard to this purpose and ideally any patients in whom energy needs are uncertain should be measured. Recent developments should facilitate the widespread use of IC in medical routine and promote better clinical outcomes.”

No More REE/RMR/RQ Guesswork
While calculations provide population average RMR/REE, clinical studies have indicated calculated RMR/REE using metabolic equation for a patient is misleading due to errors as much as 1000 kcal per day. With Breezing, accurate REE/RMR/RQ measurement, by measuring both (O2/CO2 in breath with low test costs, is possible.
Breezing: Science, Technology, Device, & Apps
Breezing precisely measures metabolic data (REE/RMR and RQ) from a patient’s breath using a disposable, single-use O2/CO2 sensor cartridge, syncing the data through a mobile app.
1. The Science
Breezing is based on proven science and clinically validated technology.
2. The Sensor Technology
Breezing’s proprietary technology combines traditional O2 and CO2 sensors into a single sensor cartridge, offering precise RMR measurement without the need for manual calibration.
3. The Device
Using Breezing is simple: just insert the sensor cartridge, wear the device, and breathe for 10 mins. No lengthy setup and manual calibration needed.
4. The Mobile App
The app guides the measurement, displaying the results, history, and progress of each patient.
