A new study published in Engineering presents a breakthrough in medical technology with the development of a wearable stethoscope that can accurately monitor lung sounds in real-time and automatically ...

In an observational study that began enrollment last month, researchers will determine if continuous, remote lung sound ...

A new device was able to distinguish between mild and very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The “hallmark feature” of COPD is a sustained reduction of expiratory airflow, which is ...

New research from an international team of scientists could offer doctors a new way to detect and monitor progressive lung diseases – and may also shed light on the fundamental causes of those ...

Researchers have developed a novel way to monitor breathing using a “smart shirt”, a wearable that can record important parameters of breathing by sensing subtle movements of the chest and abdomen.

Mona Eskandari, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at UC Riverside, is conducting research to combat lung damage due to overventilation. The lungs undergo extensive stretching with each ...
