Clinic Versus Home Spirometry

Not Applicable
Conditions
Asthma
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Interventions
Device: NuvoAir Air Next spirometer
Registration Number
NCT05219773
Lead Sponsor
University of Nottingham
Brief Summary

The study aims to assess the differences between spirometry performed with the NuvoAir Air Next spirometer in the clinic setting with both direct and virtual supervision via a video call, and in the home setting with virtual supervision. This is will be achieved by comparing lung function values, specifically the FEV1 and FVC measurements. We also wish to evaluate participant's perceptions of home spirometry, by using a survey.

This is a multi-centre, cross-over study. The study will enrol participants with a diagnosis of asthma and COPD, across participating study sites until 68 have completed the study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
2. To compare spirometric values obtained from two virtually supervised tests performed at home, using the NuvoAir Air Next device.8 days

The forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and forced vital Capacity (FVC) will be measured via the NuvoAir Air Next spirometer at home at 2 points during the 8 day study period.

1. To compare spirometric values obtained from the NuvoAir Air Next device, directly supervised in clinic and virtually supervised in clinic and at home.8 days

Over an 8-day period; the forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and forced vital Capacity (FVC) will be measured at 4 points in the study over the 8 day study period. Twice in clinic and twice at home.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To evaluate the participant's views of home spirometry via a survey.8 days

A standardised survey to evaluate the participant's perception of home spirometry, will be performed.
