Every Child Deserves to Breathe Freely

ChARM (Children’s Automated Respiratory Monitor) is an innovative medical device designed to accurately detect and classify fast breathing in children. Fast breathing is a key indicator of pneumonia according to the WHO ICMI Respiratory Illness Guidelines.

Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of child mortality worldwide, especially in developing regions where access to reliable diagnostics is limited. ChARM’s ability in early detection of pneumonia enables early treatment. ChARM helps healthcare providers detect pneumonia cases efficiently, reducing misdiagnosis and improving patient care. This makesChARM a particularly useful diagnostic tool for community health workers in low-resource settings.

ChARM automates the measurement of respiratory rate and other key indicators to determine the likelihood of pneumonia in children. It eliminates human error and provides consistent, objective results for improved clinical decision-making.

ChARM is designed for use by frontline workers, (community)health workers, and other healthcare professionals including doctors and nurses.ChARM can be used by healthcare professionals across all settings including field settings, hospitals and clinics.

Yes! ChARM is designed with a user-friendly interface and requires minimal training, making it accessible for frontline healthcare workers, even in remote areas.

ChARM is battery-operated ( rechargeable)  and does not require internet connectivity, making it ideal for use in low-resource settings.

ChARM is being introduced in several countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. If you are interested in bringing ChARM to your region, please contact us for more information.
