"I am excited to support KetoAir™ as a valuable tool in the field of obesity, where GLP-1-based diets are gaining significant relevance. Ketogenic diets play a crucial role in stimulating the natural production of the GLP-1 hormone, which may affect the regulation of appetite and blood sugar levels. By measuring Breath Acetone Concentration (BrAce) with KetoAir™, we now have a simplified and effective biomarker for determining adherence to a ketogenic diet. This may be helpful in treating chronic conditions such as diabetes and obesity. Many individuals currently monitor their ketone levels using blood and urine diagnostics However, these methods analyze the body’s storage of or excess runoff of ketones and can be easily manipulated with supplements. BrAce, a byproduct of fat metabolism, which may capture the essence of ketosis more accurately. KetoAir™ offers a non-invasive alternative delivering real-time and pain-free feedback on ketosis levels. As a valuable remote patient monitoring tool, this high-quality device is intended to empower users to track their progress, stay motivated, and make more informed decisions about their diet and exercise habits."
