Clinics in Chest Medicine
This article provides an overview of remote or home spirometry. It includes discussions about the types of devices available, their accuracy, and pitfalls. It also summarizes the data available for the use of home spirometry in specific pulmonary diseases such as lung transplant, cystic fibrosis, neuromuscular disease, and obstructive lung disease.

Staging of Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome Using Home Spirometry
Chest, 1999To compare the detection of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) in lung transplant recipients by clinic pulmonary function laboratory measurement and home spirometry.The subjects served as their own control group.A university-based thoracic transplant center.Forty-five lung transplant recipients (26 women and 19 men; average +/- SD age, 47.7+/-11.4

Quality of home spirometry performance amongst adults with cystic fibrosis
Journal of Cystic Fibrosis, 2022Spirometry is usually performed under the supervision of a trained respiratory scientist to ensure acceptability and repeatability of results. To evaluate the quality of spirometry performance by adult cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with and without observation by a trained respiratory scientist, an observational, single centre study was conducted ...

Unsupervised home spirometry is not equivalent to supervised clinic spirometry in children and young people with cystic fibrosis: Results from the CLIMB-CF study [PDF]
Pediatric Pulmonology, 2023 Background: Handheld spirometry allows monitoring of lung function at home, of particular importance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Pediatric studies are unclear on whether values are interchangeable with traditional, clinic-based spirometry.

Home‐spirometry exacerbation profiles in children with cystic fibrosis
Pediatric Pulmonology, 2023AbstractBackgroundPulmonary exacerbations (PEx) are strong predictors of respiratory disease progression in children with cystic fibrosis (CwCF) and may be associated with persistent decreased lung function after acute management. Telemonitoring devices can be used for early detection and monitoring of PEx, but its utility is debated.Research ...

mmFlow: Facilitating At-Home Spirometry with 5G Smart Devices
2021 18th Annual IEEE International Conference on Sensing, Communication, and Networking (SECON), 2021Respiratory 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)), 2004Spirometry 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

Quality Assurance for Home Spirometry using Machine Learning [PDF]
2025 IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC)Spirometry is used for evaluating lung function, playing a crucial role in assessing lung health and monitoring treatment effectiveness. Numerous studies demonstrate the potential of Machine Learning algorithms to match human experts in spirometry classification, although most approaches depend on custom data pre-processing and complex model ...

Reproducibility of home spirometry in children with newly diagnosed asthma
Pediatric Pulmonology, 2000We 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
