mmFlow: Facilitating At-Home Spirometry with 5G Smart Devices

2021 18th Annual IEEE International Conference on Sensing, Communication, and Networking (SECON), 2021
Respiratory diseases, like Asthma, COPD, have been a significant public health challenge over decades. Portable spirometers are effective in continuous monitoring of respiratory syndromes out-of-clinic. However, existing systems are either costly or provide limited information and require extra hardware.

Spirometry at Home: Technology Within the Patient's Reach

Archivos de Bronconeumología ((English Edition)), 2004
Spirometry is a basic lung function test useful both for measuring and for monitoring expiratory volume. For many years monitoring has been performed by means of a portable peak flow meter capable of measuring maximal expiratory flow. We present a portable spirometer (Spirotel, Medical International Research, Rome, Italy) capable of transmitting stored

Reliability of home spirometry in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, 2020
Introduction: Recently, there has been quite some debate about the use and reliability of home spirometry in pulmonary fibrosis. We aimed to assess the feasibility and reliability of home spirometry over time compared to hospital spirometry in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Reproducibility of home spirometry in children with newly diagnosed asthma

Pediatric Pulmonology, 2000
We evaluated the reproducibility of home spirometry in 110 children aged 5-10 years with newly diagnosed asthma according to the criteria proposed by the American Thoracic Society (level of reproducibility < or = 5%). Flow-volume spirometry was performed in the clinic. Spirometric values were then monitored twice daily at home for 24 days (mean), using

Education and implementation of home spirometry in an adolescent cystic fibrosis population

Respiratory Medicine and Research, 2023
Lung function in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) is closely monitored as an objective marker of clinical status. The COVID-19 pandemic shifted our ability to assess individuals from in-person to remote monitoring using telehealth. As part of efforts to monitor individuals remotely during this time, this study describes the process of education ...

Home Spirometry in Asthma: A Scoping Review

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Periodic assessment of spirometry is an integral part of asthma care. While in-person spirometry is the “gold standard”, the COVID pandemic prompted an increase in use of telemedicine and home spirometry. Understanding the applications and limitations of home spirometry is crucial to appropriately implement its ...

Quality of home spirometry data in asthmatic patients

European Respiratory Journal, 2013
Introduction In clinical trials, spirometry measurements may be taken at home using electronic diaries (e-Diaries) with integrated spirometers, for use as safety and/or efficacy endpoints. The accuracy of this data is of particular importance 1

Facilitators and Barriers to Adherence With Home Monitoring Using Electronic Spirometry

AACN Clinical Issues: Advanced Practice in Acute and Critical Care, 2001
Adherence with prescribed therapies is a key factor in maintaining health in persons with chronic illnesses. The purpose of this descriptive study (which is one segment of a larger study being conducted to develop decision rules for early detection of infection or rejection in posttransplant patients) is to explore facilitators and barriers to ...
