CO2 levels change swiftly — even one person’s normal breathing in a non-ventilated room increases CO2 up to the adverse concentration, and this can happen fast and unnoticed. Altos is a device and mobile app that helps you stay informed of what air you breathe. Enhance your full cognitive capabilities and brain performance, improve your indoor environment to feel better and make sure the air you breathe does no harm.

Have you ever got stuck on a task for no apparent reason? Here’s a clue: your brain lacks fuel for work. According to multiple studies, people’s cognitive performance depends directly on what air they breathe. So the more CO2 is in the air, the less productive we are in our thinking process. At CO2 exposure of 1000 parts per million, which is quite common for indoor environments, our brain performance decreases by 35%. Thus, more than one-third of the max cognition capability is lost due to improper air composition.

Science has proven that human cognition declines as CO2 levels in the air they breathe rise. So we created Altos to help you keep working at full capacity. Just place the device nearby so it can sample the air, and you’re ready to go.
