Respiratory analyser
A popular non-invasive method of detecting diseases
Respiratory analyzers have revolutionized the way doctors diagnose and treat a variety of lung diseases, for example, asthma, COPD, heart failure, diabetes, and many more.
With an increased interest in lung function after COVID-19, breath analyzers have become a popular detection tool to diagnose lung health. To remotely monitor lung function, a compact and portable instrument that is remotely connected would be ideal. With rapid testing and real-time results, Respitaory Analyzer empowers healthcare providers to make informed decisions promptly, enhancing the efficiency of patient care.
Products and services
Breath sensors
Breath Sensors: Breath sensors are specifically designed micro-sensors that detect components in breath. We have developed the prototype of the following sensors:
- Electrochemical sensors
- Metal oxide gas sensors
- Pressure sensors
These sensors are intended to be used in breath analysis devices.
Breath analysis Instrument
Respiratory analyzer: Our instrument measures the amount of air a person can inhale and exhale, as well as the rate of flow. It could be used to diagnose a variety of respiratory disorders. During a test, a patient is asked to take a deep breath and then blow into a tube connected to a spirometer, which measures the amount and rate of air that is inhaled and exhaled. The results of the test can help determine if a patient has any type of respiratory disorder and can also be used to monitor the progress of treatment.
Consulting and collaboration on Breath analysis
Consulting and collaboration: To enhance our engagement with our partners we also consult on specific topics related to breath analysis and the development of breath instruments.
We are open to collaborating on projects, grant writing, and product development.
