A Baltimore medtech startup is on a mission to decrease respiratory disease deaths. WBAL-TV met the CommUNITY Champions solving a problem and saving lives.

“If you really believe in something, put everything you have behind it. Just do it,” said Ellington West, CEO and co-founder of Sonavi Labs.

A team at Sonavi Labs created a medical device that started out as a small research project.

“My Ph.D work at Johns Hopkins (University) ended up being the inception point for the technology for Sonavi,” said Ian McLane, chief technology officer and co-founder of Sonavi Labs.

Sonavi is a portmanteau meaning “sound of life.” It describes the company’s digital stethoscope, the Feelix, which auto-diagnoses respiratory diseases in seconds. It was born out of a dream to save lives.

“When we realized that an African American child in the city of Baltimore is three times more likely to die from an asthma attack than any other patient population, we knew that we had work to do in our own backyard,” West said.

Five years in and they’ve made two different devices for doctors and patients.

“As you notice, the clinician version has a screen. This one has a single button for patients to use,” McLane demonstrated.

With a press of a single button, an algorithm automatically detects abnormalities and can then transmit a recording to health professionals anywhere. Whether for a telehealth visit or to monitor a chronic condition, clinical information is in people’s hands.

“We want to empower people, and that’s my hope and dream is that we move outside of just North America, but that we really have impact all around the world, and that there’s a Feelix in every medicine cabinet, but also in every home around the world,” West said.

The Sonavi team will be rolling out the Feelix device across the country to be deployed around the world starting this year.
