A NEW, PRESSURE SENSOR-BASED ELECTRONIC MEDICAL DEVICE FOR THE ANALYSIS OF LUNG SOUNDS

The idea of the new electronic medical device we propose, arose in response to the growing need perceived by medicine for high-tech diagnostic aids combining such features as reliability and specifity with non-invasive techniques. Aglaia allows the effective auscultation, the accurate processing and the detailed visualization (temporal and frequency graphs) of any lung sound. Then, it is suitable for the continuous real-time monitoring of breathing functions, resulting very useful to diagnose respiratory pathologies. It provides medical specialists with a totally non-invasive high-engineering device able to detect and analyse the widest number of data for the monitoring of the respiratory system by the simple recording and evaluation of lung sounds being a substantiated correlation between lung sounds and diseases
