Industrial application
- "Health sector with application to COPD patients. It can be used in other pulmonary or non-pulmonary pathologies that may involve the respiratory system, including heart failure, severe obesity, neuromuscular diseases with respiratory muscle involvement. The device paves the way for a concrete path of ""Proactive Medicine"" offering answers to the health needs of citizens in their living environments. Patient acquires autonomy in the self-control of his pathology wherever she/he is."
Advantage factor
- "The early diagnosis of COPD exacerbations is problematic because the patient tends to underestimate the symptoms and then comes to the doctor's attention late. Currently there is no methodology outlined but it has emerged the scientific need to identify parameters able to tell the doctor the best time to intervene. COPDmedia detect the onset of exacerbations or clinically critical situations before the symptoms arise for an early intervention."
