Macawi SERA: personalized respiratory support for everyone.

Macawi SERA is a non-invasive sensing platform that brings real-time visibility into a patient’s respiratory and cardiac activity. By leveraging surface electromyography (sEMG), SERA captures the electrical signals of the diaphragm and heart, enabling clinicians to monitor breathing effort and spontaneous respiratory activity without invasive procedures. This technology supports more responsive and individualized ventilation strategies, helping care teams make timely, informed decisions in critical care environments.

Frequently asked questions

precision monitoring for individualized respiratory care.

sEMG is a well-established method for assessing muscle activity. Its application in respiratory care enables more personalized and responsive treatment strategies. Other technologies have already demonstrated the clinical relevance of muscle activity-based ventilation. With advances in sensing and signal processing, SERA now makes these insights accessible without invasive procedures.

By visualizing the phases of the breathing cycle in near-real time, SERA supports clinicians in tailoring ventilation strategies to individual patient needs. When combined with cardiac signal monitoring, it provides a broader view of the cardiorespiratory system, contributing to more informed decision-making in critical care environments.

Macawi SERA product

non-invasive monitoring that fits any workflow.

SERA is designed as a stand-alone monitoring system that integrates seamlessly into clinical workflows. All without invasive procedures. Its specially developed electrodes are suitable for all patient populations, from premature infants to adults, and its plug-and-play design ensures compatibility with any ventilator system.

As respiratory care moves toward more personalized and responsive support, SERA stands ready to unlock the full potential of sEMG technology for clinicians, ventilator manufacturers, and healthcare providers worldwide.

clinical applications include:

  • Apnea detection and classification
  • Avoidance of patient-ventilator asynchrony
  • Assessment during spontaneous breathing trials (SBT)
  • Proportional ventilatory support
  • Real-time feedback during ventilation therapy
  • Context-aware respiratory monitoring to reduce alarm fatigue
