Spirometry takes care to find and to predict respiratory system pathologies through instrumentation that mainly carries out measurements on the volume and the air flow expired from lungs. A complete spirometric instrumentation composed of three parts has been developed.

Abstract
Spirometry takes care to find and to predict respiratory system pathologies through instrumentation that mainly carries out measurements on the volume and the air flow expired from lungs. A complete spirometric instrumentation composed of three parts has been developed. The first part, ldquohardwarerdquo, gains a sampled signal from a sensor of the flow-time curve and sends it to the computer. The second part, ldquosoftwarerdquo, processes received data calculating the volume-time curve, the flow-volume curve and other main spirometric parameters, displaying the result of prediction. The last part, ldquoa genetic algorithmrdquo, trains itself on the base of a series of computing with real data, to produce spirometric parameters of a most likely pathologic curve and, to predict pathology type with less possible testsI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
