About Us
We specialize in early detection of COPD.
Currently, there are over 16.4 million people in the U.S. who suffer from COPD. Of those, 24% of them will be readmitted to the hospitals due to increased symptoms or severity. At LASARRUS we are creating device-enabled solutions for remote monitoring of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) that is reliable, accurate and easy to use.
