The research in this paper focuses on the capture of respiratory patterns in real-time through a minor modification of an anti-snoring device that is readily available off the shelf or can be bought online and attaching a microphone to it. The audio pattern is recorded for the various lung conditions at different stages. The data recorded is generated in graphical form to understand the pattern. The setup for recording and generating data patterns is explained in the paper. The procedure for using the device and gathering data is mentioned in detail in this paper and sample raw data is presented for researchers. The purpose of this device is easy data collection and interpretation for selfdiagnosis of the anomalies in the breathing pattern through audio data and display of the patterns in smartphone applications that can further be investigated by a physician.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
