Usually, lung function in patients with respiratory diseases is monitored with a stethoscope during the
The wearable device, known as the Pneumo Vest, is being developed as part of the M³ Infekt project, which involves10 branches of the German research group Fraunhofer. Currently, the technology is intended mainly for patients with COVID-19, although it can also be used to treat other respiratory diseases.
Special software records and analyzes all sensor readings and then createsAn image of the lungs in which problem areas are highlighted.
Several piezoceramic acoustic sensors are integrated into the front and back of the vest, which individually detectEven the most subtle noises produced by the lungs. Since the location of each sensor (relative to the lungs) is already known, it is possible to determine where it is coming fromevery noise.
