Home Telemonitoring of Resting Spontaneous Breathing in Severe Asthma: a Pilot Study

Brief Summary

Asthma exacerbations account for a significant morbidity and disproportionate health care costs. However, there is no currently available biomarker or lung function parameter that can accurately predict the risk of future exacerbations. The current work aims at evaluating the resting ventilatory flow by applying a new technique called anharmonic morphological analysis of the respiratory signals (AMARS). We hypothesize that monitoring AMARS is potentially able to detect an increased risk of asthma exacerbations.
