Testing a portable lung-measurement device for chronic respiratory diseases
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a portable device that measures how well your lungs work by sending gentle sound waves or pulses through them. It aims to see if this new device can accurately detect and differentiate various chronic lung conditions, potentially offering a simpler and more accessible way to monitor respiratory health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child must be at least 3 years old (or 40+ for the COPD group).
- You must have a diagnosis or suspected diagnosis of COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis, interstitial lung disease, upper airway obstruction—or be a healthy volunteer.
- You must not have had a severe flare-up or respiratory infection in the past month.
- You must not have other lung diseases like lung cancer, pneumonia, active tuberculosis, or pulmonary embolism.
- You must be able to do breathing tests comfortably (no severe shortness of breath, recent heart problems, or other conditions that make testing unsafe).
- If you are a healthy volunteer, you must have no respiratory symptoms, no significant smoking history, no occupational exposure to harmful dust or gas, and a normal body mass index.

This study compares simple breathing tests (oscillometry and FeNO) used by your primary care doctor against a specialist's diagnosis to see if they can accurately tell if you have asthma or COPD. If you have symptoms like wheezing, cough, or shortness of breath but haven't been diagnosed yet, this trial may help improve how these conditions are found.
This study looks at signs (biomarkers) and different types of COPD in Chinese people. It aims to better understand COPD and pre-COPD, which may help with future treatments.
This trial is testing a new breathing device that may be as accurate as standard tests for diagnosing asthma and COPD. It could offer a simpler and quicker way to check your lung health.
This study tests a new device that listens to your breathing to check how well your lungs are working. It might help diagnose lung conditions without the need for forceful blowing tests, making it easier for patients.
This trial is studying people with chronic lung conditions, like COPD or asthma, to find treatable traits. It also includes healthy volunteers for comparison, to better understand what makes these diseases different and how to personalize treatment.
This study tests a portable handheld device that measures airway function to help diagnose asthma. Researchers want to see if this device can accurately identify asthma in people with breathing symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath.
