Smart cannula could measure your breath while giving air
NCT ID NCT06713213
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new device called FRNDS, a nasal cannula that can measure how much air a person breathes while also delivering air. Researchers compared it to standard chest belts in 57 healthy adults. The goal was to see if the cannula works as well as current methods, which could help monitor patients with breathing problems more easily.
