Our story

Focused on the moments that shape outcomes.

Accurate diagnosis
in seconds.

Clinically validated,
field tested.

Ultrasound is a powerful diagnostic tool. It is safe, portable, and clinically trusted -but its impact is often limited by the training and experience required to use it well.

Clinicians still carry the cognitive burden. At the point of care, providers must acquire, interpret, and act on ultrasound findings, often under time pressure and with variable support.

We use AI to help scale ultrasound safely. Deep Breathe builds AI-assisted diagnostic software that supports clinicians at the bedside, enabling more confident, consistent use of ultrasound across care settings.

Looking ahead

Deep Breathe continues its mission to democratize diagnostics by expanding platform capabilities across lung and torso applications. Progressing along regulatory pathways in the U.S., Canada, and Europe, the company is strengthening trusted partnerships through continued validation- delivering rapid, highly accurate insights anywhere, without connectivity.

Regulatory milestones and scaled capability

In 2025, Deep Breathe deepened testing and R&D partnerships across military, pre-hospital, and hospital settings while scaling team and product maturity. FDA clearance of the company’s base software models marked a pivotal milestone, accelerating growth and expanding diagnostic capabilities across the platform.

Scaling access and platform maturity

In 2024, Deep Breathe advanced its mission to make high-quality lung diagnostics universally accessible by exploring new verticals and refining platform solutions for use anywhere, including remote and underserved settings. The team grew significantly as the company expanded into new markets, strengthening its clinically driven global impact.

Clinical Validation and Market Acceleration

In 2023, Deep Breathe validated its AI in real-world clinical settings, consistently outperforming trained physicians across diverse environments. Strategic partnerships and major investments accelerated product development, team growth, and market momentum.

Early growth and broadening the impact of AI-powered lung diagnostics

In 2022, Deep Breathe expanded it’s AI diagnostics beyond COVID-19 to tackle a broader spectrum of lung conditions, driven by continued R&D and landmark publications in AI-powered lung ultrasound. Strategic partnerships further accelerated real-world integration across medical and industrial applications.

Advancing respiratory diagnostics during COVID-19

In 2021, Deep Breathe was established with the goal of rapidly adapting AI diagnostics to support the global COVID-19 response, by enabling fast, accurate detection of virus-related lung complications. This innovation delivered critical, real-time insights at the point of care, highlighting the power of machine learning to transform respiratory diagnostics when it mattered most.

FAQ

Answers to our frequently asked questions.

What does Deep Breathe do?

Deep Breathe develops AI-assisted diagnostic software for point-of-care ultrasound, designed to support accurate, real-time clinical decision-making across hospital, pre-hospital, and operational settings.

What products does Deep Breathe offer?

Deep Breathe offers two core solutions:

ATLAS – real-time AI-assisted detection of life-threatening torso injuries at the point of care.
ATLAS Pneumothorax – bedside pneumothorax detection designed to streamline hospital workflows and reduce reliance on routine chest X-ray

What makes Deep Breathe’s technology different?

Our technology is hardware-agnostic, designed for real-world deployment, and trained on large, clinically relevant datasets. It is built with field, pre-hospital, and hospital use in mind, not limited to idealized clinical environments, and developed in close partnership with operational users.

Who does Deep Breathe work with?

We work with military, pre-hospital, and hospital partners. Current collaborations include branches of the Canadian Special Operations Forces and U.S. Special Forces, as well as the U.S. Army, Marines, Navy, and Air Force, alongside pilot deployments with hospital systems.

Do Deep Breathe products have regulatory approval?

Deep Breathe has FDA 510(k) clearance for our B-line model, and we are actively pursuing regulatory approvals for the broader ATLAS platforms.

How can I learn more or explore working with Deep Breathe?

The best way to learn more is to reach out directly. We work with organizations to explore fit, pilot deployments, training, and pathways to scaled adoption.

How does Deep Breathe partner with military organizations?

We partner with military organizations to deploy ATLAS in an educational capacity, and support training, evaluation, and deployment of AI-assisted ultrasound across the continuum of care, from point of injury to higher-role facilities, focusing on scalability and operational realism.

How does Deep Breathe support pre-hospital care and EMS systems?

Deep Breathe helps EMS agencies scale ultrasound use by reducing training burden and providing consistent, AI-assisted diagnostic support for providers with varying levels of experience.

How do Deep Breathe’s solutions improve efficiency in hospital settings?

In hospitals, our solutions support rapid bedside diagnosis of pneumothorax detection, helping reduce delays, minimize unnecessary chest X-rays, and streamline post-procedure workflows.

Does Deep Breathe’s technology require internet connectivity?

No. Deep Breathe’s software runs locally on-device and does not require internet connectivity for clinical use.

How does Deep Breathe integrate with existing ultrasound systems and workflows?

Our software is hardware-agnostic and designed to work with existing ultrasound devices and clinical workflows, deploying on standard iOS and Android platforms.

Can Deep Breathe’s solutions be deployed today?

Yes. ATLASim is available today for education and training use, and we actively partner with organizations on pilot deployments, onboarding, and phased implementation of clinical solutions.

How do organizations get started with evaluation or deployment?

Organizations can start by reaching out to discuss goals, use cases, and readiness. We work collaboratively to design evaluations, support training, and plan for scalable deployment.
