Characterization of respiratory conditions using labVIEW and digital spirometer
One of the effective ways to diagnose various respiratory diseases is using spirometry test. Good spirometer comes with excellent graphical user interface. Spirometer is used to measure lung parameters such as Forced Expiratory Volume in the first second and the sixth seconds (FEV1 and FEV6). Th...

| Summary: | One of the effective ways to diagnose various respiratory diseases is using
spirometry test. Good spirometer comes with excellent graphical user
interface. Spirometer is used to measure lung parameters such as Forced
Expiratory Volume in the first second and the sixth seconds (FEV1 and
FEV6). This paper presents an algorithm with Graphical User Interface
(GUI) for characterization of respiratory conditions using LabVIEW
Software. The whole spirometry system consists of a breathing circuitry with
pressure sensor and a data acquisition board (NI sbRIO FPGA board).
Results obtained from three different volunteers with different health
performances are also presented in this paper. The FEV1/FEV6 ratio of a
healthy volunteer is 81.1%, an asthma volunteer is 72.04%, and suspected
bronchitis volunteer is 33.4%. Based on these results, the unhealthy
volunteers tend to have smaller value of FEV1 with lower area under the
curve when compared to healthy volunteer. |
