Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Listening to breath sounds with the stethoscope/auscultation is used by pulmonary physicians in conjunction with pulmonary function, signs and symptoms, oxygen saturation and diagnostic testing to admit, follow and discharge patients from hospital. Of these, only auscultation routinely ceases upon discharge from Hospital. Healthcare utilization statistics have shown that for more than a decade, readmission after discharge for an exacerbation of COPD or severe asthma (or chronic heart failure) remains a major problem. The Strados RESP Biosensor has been designed to extend the range of lung sound recording both geographically and temporally to improve the standard of care when access to continuous monitoring has been replaced by periodic or no monitoring. The primary purpose of this study is to assess the associations between RESP Biosensor-acquired lung findings and subjective measures of respiratory symptoms as measured by validated measurement tools, and objective measure of respiratory physiology as determined by home spirometry

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Statistically significant associations between RESP Biosensor-acquired lung findings and 1) subjective measure of respiratory symptoms measured by validated measurements tools and 2) home spirometry [Periodic recording over 24 hours for 30 days]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Univariate and multivariate assessment of predictors of 30 day respiratory-disease specific hospital readmission rate [Periodic recording over 24 hours for 30 days]

    2. Univariate and multivariate assessment of predictors of 30 day total respiratory exacerbation rate (moderate + severe) [Periodic recording over 24 hours for 30 days]
