3M is crowdfunding a device that logs, tracks and trends breathing quality in different environments and locations. The Respiratory Trackers helps users by giving them insights into their breathing activity in different weather and air quality conditions to manage respiratory health.

The wearable is designed to continuously track breathing with a battery life of 7 days. It easily clips on to clothing and is small and lightweight. It features wireless charging and a smartphone app that can give localized weather, allergens and air quality and provide a personalized trigger forecast.
