Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Medical Devices
  • Telehealth

Background:

  • Spirometry is a fundamental lung function test for measuring and monitoring expiratory volume.
  • Traditional monitoring often relies on portable peak flow meters for maximal expiratory flow.
  • Effective monitoring is crucial for managing chronic respiratory diseases.

Observation:

  • A novel portable spirometer, the Spirotel, has been developed.
  • This device stores lung function data and transmits it remotely via telephone.
  • It offers both graphical and numerical data presentation for ease of use.

Findings:

  • The Spirotel facilitates on-line monitoring of lung function changes.
  • The device is user-friendly and provides accessible data visualization.
