Research with Lumen

Collaborate with Lumen to measure metabolic fuel via exhaled CO2 for participants in a resting state.

  1. Access real time CO2 data
  2. Measure breath CO2 in under 30 secs
  3. Assess participants at home instead of the lab
  4. Use a handheld device equivalent to RER
  5. App configurable to your needs

PEER-REVIEWED VALIDATION STUDY

Unlike metabolic carts, Lumen focuses exclusively on CO2 and does not measure oxygen levels or consumption.

Results are delivered in real time through a simplified research-friendly version of the Lumen app and stored for later reference.

How Lumen works

  • Participant breathes in through Lumen
  • Holds breath for 10 seconds
  • Breathes out through Lumen

The Lumen device measures CO2 and flow rate during the exhale to identify the peak CO2 level equivalent to alveolar gaseous concentration.

How Lumen works

Scientifically Validated &
Peer-reviewed

Peer-reviewed research evaluating Lumen validated that it matches the gold standard of measuring metabolism.
