Could a Pocket-Sized spirometer replace hospital lung tests?
NCT ID NCT07447232
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test a handheld ultrasonic spirometer against a conventional hospital spirometer in 100 adults with chronic respiratory diseases like COPD or asthma. Each participant will use both devices to see if the portable one gives accurate and reliable results. If successful, it may offer a convenient way for patients to monitor their breathing at home.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- handheld ultrasonic spirometer
- What this could lead to
- If the handheld device proves accurate, it could allow patients to monitor lung function at home instead of only in a hospital.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage comparison study, not a treatment trial. The device may not be as reliable as standard equipment, and results may not apply to all patients.
