About Strados Labs

Strados Labs is a clinical trial solutions company focused on advancing how respiratory disease is measured in clinical research. Our platform combines proprietary respiratory sensing technology with validated pulmonary function testing and digital clinical tools to deliver high-quality respiratory endpoint data across clinical trials. From continuous cough and lung sound monitoring to spirometry, FeNO, and respiratory patient-reported outcomes, Strados supports the full spectrum of respiratory measurement required in modern drug development.

By enabling both real-world monitoring and traditional site-based assessments, Strados helps pharmaceutical sponsors and CRO partners capture more meaningful respiratory data, reduce trial complexity, and improve the evaluation of new therapies.
