Aluna
Aluna is a San Francisco digital health company that turns daily breathing into data. Its FDA-cleared, palm-sized spirometer pairs with a gamified app and a clinician dashboard so people with asthma, COPD and cystic fibrosis - and their doctors - can track lung function (FEV1) at home and catch trouble before it becomes an emergency. Founded by three UC Berkeley alumni and originally named Knox Medical Diagnostics, Aluna raised about $27M total, including a $15.3M Series B in 2023, and was acquired by Huma in May 2025.
