BreathSmart Pro+: Innovative Breath Analysis and Lung Exercise Device with Blood Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) Monitoring for Post-COVID-19 Recovery

Abstract

It is essential to engage in lung rehabilitation for individuals who have recently recovered from COVID-19 and are experiencing pneumonia. The rehabilitation process involves incorporating movements or exercises that gradually promote the restoration of flexibility in the lung tissue and air sacs, allowing them to regain their full capacity. This research presents a device for analysis and managing lung capacity in patients who have recovered from COVID-19, aiming to promote lung function and continuous pulmonary rehabilitation. The same device also includes an evaluating of blood oxygen saturation levels by measuring the quantity and rate of airflow through sensors that detect air pressure differentials. Additionally, the concentration of oxygen in the blood (SpO2) is measured through the assessment of oxygen levels at the fingertip. The test results compared to the standard instruments showed that the Peak Flow and Flow Rate values were within 99% accuracy. However, the SpO2 measurements had an error range of approximately ±1. This can be applied to patients to enhance their lung function assessment, pulmonary rehabilitation, and SpO2 evaluation, especially for those recovering from COVID-19 or individuals with respiratory system issues. It provides greater convenience in accessing these assessments, and the data can also be further analyzed to gain valuable insights into the overall respiratory system functioning and lung health of patients.
