Overview
Brief Summary
Asthma is a complex and chronic inflammatory disorder which is associated with reversible airway obstruction and bronchial hyperresponsiveness. It is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in children and prevalence further increases worldwide. Typical symptoms of asthma are breathlessness, cough, wheezing and chest tightness. These symptoms are particularly prevalent at night-time. Understanding and tracking these symptoms can lead to better management of asthma.
Auscultation using a stethoscope is standard clinical practice, however there is currently no available solution to detect respiratory sounds throughout the day and night.
The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of detecting respiratory sounds in healthy children with the CoVa patch.
