Summary
PNOĒ, a Malden, Mass.-based startup, is launching a new self-serve version of its breath-analyzing mask on October 1. The device measures VO₂ max and other metabolic markers in eight minutes without requiring a trained operator. The previous version was criticized for looking like Bane’s mask. The new model is described as sleeker and more user-friendly. The company did not provide further details on pricing or availability.
