Calibre: The Ultimate Breath Metabolic Tracker

Revolutionizing Fitness and Health Monitoring

Calibre was born out of a belief that access to meaningful and reliable data can significantly improve our daily lives. While breath measurement is the most accurate way to measure metabolic activity, it has traditionally been limited to labs and hospitals. Calibre changes that by bringing this technology to the masses.

What sets Calibre apart from other fitness trackers is its functionality, aesthetics, and lightweight design. The device features a wireless electronics module that clips onto a comfortable face piece, allowing users to track dozens of real-time metabolic and respiratory biometrics. With up to 50 measurements per second, Calibre provides unparalleled accuracy and detail.

Calibre is designed to be activity agnostic, meaning it can be used during any type of exercise or daily routine. With a battery life of 14 hours, users can rely on Calibre to provide continuous monitoring throughout the day. The device also comes with a tracking app that collects real-time data on airflow composition, allowing users to see how their activities affect their body and respiratory system.

The technology behind Calibre is truly impressive. The adjustable head strap and hypoallergenic silicone gasket ensure a secure and comfortable fit below the nose. The mask itself is made of polycarbonate outer housings with a clear Tritan plastic anti-fog facepiece, providing both durability and clarity. Inside, a custom flex CCA with pressure, CO2, O2, humidity, and temperature sensors measures breath flow and composition, providing accurate real-time metabolic and respiratory data.

Calibre's technical specifications are equally impressive. Weighing approximately 50g, the device is lightweight and unobtrusive. It features adjustable Velcro tabs and the right pressure for a comfortable fit, ensuring accurate breath measurement. The device is wireless and includes a rechargeable lithium polymer battery pack, LED indicators, gas sensors, Bluetooth radio, and microprocessor.

Calibre is the result of a collaborative effort by a talented team of designers and engineers. Led by Kevin Bailey, the team includes Chris Edwards, Pat Williams, Phillippe Genereux, Vimal Chandran, Don Larisey, Steve Harrington, Julio Escudero, Joan Highet, and Dave Ingram. Their expertise and dedication have brought Calibre from concept to reality.

Calibre is set to launch in the mass market in the summer of 2022. The project, which began in early 2020, involved extensive research and development, prototyping, and testing. The team at Design 1st in Ottawa worked tirelessly to ensure that Calibre meets the highest standards of quality and performance.

Calibre has already garnered recognition in the design community. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Wearable Technologies category in 2022. This prestigious award is a testament to Calibre's innovative design and its contribution to improving the quality of life for its users.

With its unique combination of functionality, aesthetics, and advanced technology, Calibre is set to revolutionize the way we monitor our fitness and health. By providing real-time data on metabolic activity and respiratory parameters, Calibre empowers users to make informed decisions about their daily routines and exercise. It's time to take control of your health with Calibre.
