Improving breathcare is our everything

Chronic pulmonary patients continue to lack access to affordable pulmonary care. Zeph’s here to change that by helping clinicians increase the standard of care for their patient.

Our Vision

Build technology for chronic lung care to be personalized, accessible, and preventative

The right care can help reduce mortality and prevent lung disease from progressing.

That should be the standard, and we’re here to make it that way.

Our Mission

We help patients breathe better and live better

Our mission is to bring lung care to more patients and to reclaim the joy of everyday living!

Our Story

With Zeph, it’s very personal

Our founders saw both of their parents suffer from COPD. When their mother contracted COVID-19, it triggered a severe exacerbation. Witnessing the challenges of rehabilitation brought the need for better treatment options to light, and that’s how Zeph was born.
