The first ultrasonic spirograph in Russia has been created at the Siberian State Medical University (SSMU). This was reported by the university's press service.
The new generation portable telemedicine spirograph "Spiro" measures airflows using built-in ultrasonic sensors. This allows for the detection of lung function abnormalities.
The development will be tested at the SSMU clinics. Experts plan to obtain a practical product and commercialize the results during 2024. Registration of the medical device is also planned for this year.
The device can be used both as part of medical complexes and for individual use. The sensors transmit data on respiratory parameters to a mobile device via a wireless communication channel.
With this development, we are solving two problems at once: we are simplifying the provision of medical care for specialists and obtaining objective information measured with adequate accuracy, since the principle of measuring signals is less dependent on environmental parameters. In this way, we better control the treatment.
"Spiro" can also be used according to the indications of a pulmonologist during respiratory rehabilitation after COVID-19.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Russia was the first in the world to develop a "smart" DNA construct.
