The AnapNeo Story: Precision Born from a Fundamental Need
"In Greek, 'Anapneo' means 'to breathe'—our most fundamental human need. We fused it with 'Neo'—meaning 'new'—to define a smarter, protected, and controlled way to live. Our founder, Dr. Anastasios, is the architect of this mission, which is built on a foundation of 25 years of specialized experience.
He possesses a unique academic trifecta—a BSc in Electronics, an MSc in Wireless Communications, and a PhD in Remote Healthcare Monitoring—which he dedicated over a decade to applying in the design of cutting-edge medical devices. This is the exact pedigree required to solve air quality monitoring with core electronic design, robust connectivity, and medical-grade precision.
When he sought that same uncompromising standard in an air quality monitor for his own home, he was profoundly disappointed. The market offered vague data and basic, limited connectivity—a far cry from the reliable, intelligent system he had envisioned. He knew a diamond was hiding in the rough; he just had to engineer it himself.
Refusing to compromise, he embarked on a personal mission to build a monitor he could trust. This wasn't a side project; it was an engineering deep dive. It became a relentless pursuit of precision.
The Pursuit of Precision:
The journey began with an exhaustive analysis of every available air quality sensor, often requiring custom firmware to unlock their true potential. He didn't just pick a screen; he sourced the highest quality 2.8-inch IPS LCD and then crafted a custom user interface from the ground up—designing unique widgets and even a bespoke font to ensure perfect clarity and readability.
Engineering the Core:
The research continued with selecting the optimal Microcontroller Unit (MCU) that could robustly handle both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity. The PCB layout went through countless iterations, with a thermal camera in hand to identify and eliminate hotspots, optimizing the power supply and charging circuit for maximum efficiency and safety.
The Art of the Package:
Every component was meticulously placed within a sleek, compact enclosure measuring just 8 x 8 x 2 cm. The housing itself underwent numerous 3D-printed prototypes, each iteration refining the internal structure for optimal airflow across the sensors.
Intelligence by Design:
The software was built with the same rigor. He developed an intuitive menu system navigable with just two buttons, a simplified QR-code and captive portal for effortless Wi-Fi setup, and a portable web server capable of handling up to five simultaneous connections. A dedicated BLE application was created for local monitoring, and every device was cross-checked against others to ensure consistent, accurate performance.
The Result of Relentless Refinement:
The result of this two-year odyssey wasn't just another gadget; it was the diamond he had been searching for. A device that delivers on a promise others don't even make: 24+ hours of battery life, a stunningly clear display, remote access from anywhere, and a future-proof design with Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware updates.
The AnapNeo R1 was born from a powerful realization: everyone deserves this level of clarity and control in the air they breathe. What started as a solution for one home is now our mission: to bring an uncompromising, professional standard of intelligence to your home."
