About

Meet the Team!

True Angle was born out of a genuine need to address the debilitating impact of dysphagia (the medical term for a swallowing disorder) on individuals' quality of life. Founded by clinicians and engineers who witnessed firsthand the struggles faced by patients unable to access essential equipment due to logistical challenges, True Angle set out to revolutionize healthcare delivery. The inception of Breth, a breathwork product aimed at enhancing respiratory health and mental well-being, marks our commitment to empowering not only people with a specific medical condition but all individuals globally through innovative wellness solutions. Our vision is to be pioneers in advancing health and fostering innovation that truly transforms lives. Guided by our core values of passion for innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, customer-centric focus, and transparency, we strive to create science-backed technologies that provide tangible value and meaningful insights for our users. True Angle's mission is clear: to develop data-driven biofeedback technology that prioritizes individual needs and fosters holistic health connections. Join us on this journey as we redefine wellness and inspire positive change worldwide.
