Built at the bedside.
Designed with purpose.
The story behind Pulmoro — from the ICU during COVID-19 to a 2025 Apple Swift Student Challenge Winner.
From the pandemic ICU to the App Store.
Pulmoro was created by a Respiratory Therapist with hands-on experience in intensive care, emergency medicine, and ECMO support. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the complexity of respiratory decisions at the bedside — and the absence of a single, reliable tool to support them — made the need undeniable.
Every design decision in Pulmoro reflects that clinical reality: readable typography, high-contrast dark mode for any lighting condition, full offline functionality, and dynamic text sizing. Nothing is decorative. Everything earns its place.
Accessibility and usability guided every choice.
Pulmoro adapts seamlessly to light and dark modes, emphasizes readable typography and contrast, and supports dynamic text sizing for varied clinical environments. It functions fully offline, ensuring reliability in settings where connectivity is limited or unavailable.
