- To present novel equipment for assessing human respiration parameters.
- To detail the hardware and software aspects of the developed diagnostic device.
- To demonstrate the device's applicability in daily medical diagnosis.
Main Methods:
- Development of new equipment for respiratory parameter assessment.
- Defining requirements for data acquisition parameters.
- Statistical analysis of acquired respiratory signals.
- Demonstration of medical applications, particularly for Upper Respiratory Tract (URT) diseases.
Main Results:
- The developed apparatus is suitable for assessing human respiration parameters.
- The device's data acquisition methods and parameters are clearly defined.
- Statistical analysis confirms the usability and reliability of the acquired signals.
- The equipment demonstrated advantages in supporting the diagnosis of URT patency.
Conclusions:
