Mainz, Germany, 15 September 2025 — vitashape, the revolutionary new smart health device capable of reading and analyzing breath at lightning speed, is live on global platform Indiegogo and raising funds to bring the project to life.
One-third of the global society currently suffers from being overweight. Many have tried standard diets or medications with no long-term success because they didn’t understand their individual metabolism and fat burn rate, leading to frustrating guesswork. The award-winning vitashape is a breakthrough new health device designed to provide personalized health solutions. By analyzing a users’ breath, it can provide users precisely their individual health parameter.
“I have been a professional triathlete for many years and had the chance to get to know the best technology to analyze and optimize performance level, metabolism, nutrition and resilience in specially equipped Olympic centers by breath analysis. However, whenever I left the center I lost track of the super accurate and individual health parameter and had to rely on estimated data coming from heart rate monitors. Using and maintaining the high-end standard of the sport and metabolic medicine in breath analysis on a daily basis was not possible because this technology is far too expensive and very hard to use,” says founder and CEO Ulrich Jerichow on the inspiration behind the project. “From that moment on I detailed the plan to develop a technology to measure the combustion of a human being with similar sensor technologies as partially used in vehicles. Basically we know far more about the combustion of our vehicles than about ourselves. After years of challenging sensor and software development we are now at the point where we can really measure metabolism, performance level, stress as well as lung function with very small, easy to use and affordable systems such as vitashape.”
vitashape is a groundbreaking new product that uses high-tech O2/Acetone sensors and a flow meter to determine the concentrations in breath. The results reveal the energy the body needs daily and the type of fuel it is using (fat or carbs). The measurement is driven by a proprietary algorithm supported by AI. After a breath reading and analyzation, the companion app will then provide personalized meal plans to help users to shape their body to reach their target goals efficiently and sustainably.
“Metabolism is not like body size. Once you’re fully grown, your body size remains the same but metabolism is highly individual and fluctuates throughout the day depending on stress, activity, and diet. Thus, the best, pain-free, and sustainable way to overcome excess weight and improve body composition is by adjusting nutrition based on precise measurements rather than guesswork,” adds Jerichow. “vitashape makes the difference because it not only measures individual metabolic capabilities but also delivers individualized diet guidance. This makes vitashape the best companion in your pocket- helping you to achieve your goals efficiently and long lasting by just taking a deep breath.”
