Zeph grew out of its founders' experience watching both parents live with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, worsened by a COVID-19 exacerbation that showed how difficult rehabilitation is to reach. The company operates a virtual pulmonary rehabilitation platform for chronic respiratory patients and also sells the Zeph Trainer, a consumer smart breathing trainer device paired with its own mobile app.
Its AI-optimized virtual clinic pairs a care-team dashboard and telemedicine with a structured eight-week program and a supplied home kit of tablet, exercise equipment, and connected pulse oximetry. That home-delivered model displaces center-based outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation for patients who cannot reach it, and Zeph sells to pulmonary practices and health-system clinics whose retained providers bill insurers including Medicare, while patients participate at no cost.
