We are developing a mobile phone-based Spirometer including a user-friendly downloadable app that couples with a custom-made lung function monitoring hardware device. This device incorporates a differential pressure sensor for peak flow monitoring and spirometry, as well as sensors for discrete breath gas composition measurements. The final packaged device will be tested in a clinical setting and patient adherence to recommended home lung function testing will be assessed.

This is a collaboration with Prof. C. Davis and Prof. N. Kenyon at UC Davis.

This work has received support from the Clinical and Translational Science Center at UC Davis. in 2010 as a Highly Innovative Pilot Project
