Author(s): Shardul Joshi* and Gajanan Sakhare
Introduction: Spirometry, despite being the gold-standard diagnostic test for obstructive airway diseases, is underutilized in clinical practice. It is widely used to assess lung function and provide objective data for lung disease diagnosis and monitoring. Real-life conditions are less ideal because of comorbidities, age of the subjects, and a variety of airflow limitations. BRIOTA Technologies Private Limited has developed a portable and point-of-care diagnostic tool for Asthma and obstructive diseases. Objective: This descriptive and cross-sectional prospective study was carried out in the respiratory ward of a Semi-Government hospital located in Pune, Maharashtra, India. In this study, 126 patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and asthma were enrolled, with only a handful of them being healthy. SpiroPROTM is a turbine-based electronic measuring device integrat.. Read More»
