In realtà siamo alla fase di “studio di fattibilità”da parte del Firestone Institute for Respiratory Health at St. Joseph’s Healthcare di Hamilton (Ontario) e sarebbe solo l’ennesima utile applicazione del device a noi più caro. “We want to see whether this technology can be used to improve the early detection of serious complications in COPD patients so that health professionals can intervene in a more timely manner,” said Johnston, who is an epidemiologist and Assistant Professor of Medicine at McMaster University. “We also are hoping to pinpoint with more precision the high-risk peak periods of the year,” he said. Johnston said there are signs that the period between Christmas and New Year’s is a particularly risky period for COPD patients.
