Multi-Breath Nitrogen Washout Model for Lung Function Determination
The Lung Clearance Index (LCI) is a lung function parameter derived from the multi-breath washout (MBW) test. Although recent technological advances in equipment design have re-popularized this test, current analysis methods remain empirical and are dependent on the patient being able to breath regularly and deeply. This novel MBW data analysis method...

Disposable Impedance Adapter (DIA) for Ventilator Assessment of Respiratory Function
Assessment of respiratory mechanical function in patients on mechanical ventilators is done using a measurement of impedance on ventilator pressure and flow, but when a patient is partially breathing for themselves, accurate respiratory function measurements cannot be determined using these parameters. The DIA solves this problem by providing a controlled...

Breath Biofeedback Video Game
Breath training and awareness using interactive, breath-controlled video games, with both diagnostic and therapeutic benefit
Background:
Breathing, relaxation and awareness training significantly ameliorates respiratory symptoms and dysfunctional breathing. In spite of these benefits, consistent, safe and effective delivery of breath training is difficult...

Optimization of ARDS Ventilation with Real-Time Respiratory Mechanics Monitoring
Diagnostic tool that uses a new mode of mechanical ventilation (variable ventilation) to optimize the management of patients with ARDS
Background:
Currently there are no drugs available for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), an often fatal condition, and the only treatment consists of supportive therapies, mainly mechanical ventilation. A...
