Could a Pocket-Sized spirometer replace hospital lung tests?

NCT ID NCT07447232

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

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.
