We develop behavioral longevity tools that are fully digital, personalized, and effective. Our first solution focuses on effective and engaging breathing training! Why? Because breathing is the foundation of life. We all breathe more than 20000 times a day. But did you know that breathing can literally prolong your life? Breathing is one of the most powerful mechanisms to improve physiological (e.g. heart-rate variability, pH blood level) and psychological (e.g. stress level, sleep quality) health. But to unlock the positive effects of breathing, you need to train it. Thats why we created Chojuu, the first effective and engaging breathing training that includes real-time guidance and personalized biofeedback. Because your breathing matters.
