“What we are showing is Is that we are raising the, an accurate alarm flag seven to eight days before very, I mean, in very high rates, like 95%, ok? 95% of the hospitalization cases of the clinical trials of the sample we sampled. We are showing a very obvious deviation of a score combined out of oxygen, SAT, heart rate, and respiration rate.”

The claim, plainly

Clair Labs' system detects impending hospitalizations 7 to 8 days in advance with a 95% detection rate in its clinical trial cohort by tracking deviations in oxygen saturation, heart rate, and respiration rate.

Assessment

On December 28, 2021, then-CEO of Clair Labs Adi Berenson asserted that internal clinical trial sample data showed their contactless monitoring system detected impending hospitalizations 7 to 8 days in advance with a 95% detection rate based on a composite score of oxygen saturation, heart rate, and respiration rate. As of September 2, 2026, no peer-reviewed studies, published trial datasets on ClinicalTrials.gov, or FDA regulatory filings exist to corroborate or falsify these internal metrics. With Clair Labs listed as presumed inactive as of 2025–2026, the claim rests entirely on proprietary internal data that cannot be settled using public records.

PubMed searches reveal zero published peer-reviewed studies or clinical trial results authored by or evaluating Clair Labs' hospitalization prediction performance.
ClinicalTrials.gov contains no registered trials or posted results sponsored by Clair Labs.
FDA regulatory databases contain no 510(k), De Novo, or PMA filings or validation documentation for Clair Labs.
Startup ecosystem tracking records list Clair Labs as presumed inactive as of 2025–2026.

Wearables fail for elderly patients due to charging and pairing noncompliance

“So number one problem with COPD patients, and with other chronic patients, especially elderly, is compliance. Everything that requires them to take action, which is charging, putting it back on, tolerating it even, pairing it with the phone, is Is, is going to…”

Clair Labs uses near-infrared to measure pulse and respiration contact-free

“And then by looking at your skin in two waves of near infrared, it can see movements of superficial arteries. So arteries that are very close to the surface by looking at those arteries, we see volumetric changes and we see tone changes. And then we are actual…”

Disclosure

Clair Labs provides free devices and takes a cut of Medicare reimbursements

“We believe that we're going to get a big chunk of it. That's the business model. So we're not charging the provider for the device itself. We're actually getting recurrent revenues out of the reimbursements.”

The average COPD patient is hospitalized yearly at a $12,000 cost

“So an average COPD patient, which is diagnosed as such, is having an average incident of hospitalization at least once a year. And this hospitalization is costing 12,000 dollars.”
