Concept & Feasibility
In Progress
Problem validation, product concept and initial hardware exploration.
What we built
We built a re-flashable debug PCB and placed it inside a temporary housing to test the detection theory. This is not a final product — the housing and form factor are for testing only. The next step is a new PCB and a real in-nose ring enclosure.
The first prototype is quite big — but right now what matters is data and debugging, not size. Making it smaller comes next.
Debug PCB — actual size ~3 cm

Current focus
- 1.Patent search started — protecting our core approach.
- 2.Primary goal: build our own dataset for open public research and analysis.
- 3.Exploring MEMS sensors. Current focus: reliable data transport to the cloud and connecting AI to the dataset. MEMS microphones look particularly promising.
- 4.Next step: finalising sensor approach before moving into beta testing.
- 5.Dataset scaling during beta testing.
Prototype Development
