Diagnosis Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (Copd) Using E-Nose Technology
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a group of progressive lung diseases. Symptoms may be mild at first, beginning with coughing and shortness of breath. As it progresses, it can become increasingly difficult to breathe. You may experience wheezing and tightness in the chest. Some people with COPD have exacerbations, or flare-ups of severe symptoms. The top cause of COPD is smoking. Long-term exposure to chemical irritants can also lead to COPD. It’s a disease that takes a long time to develop. Diagnosis usually involves imaging tests, blood tests, and lung function tests. There’s no cure for COPD, but treatment can help ease symptoms, lower the chance of complications, and generally improve quality of life. Untreated, COPD can lead to heart problems and worsening respiratory infections. Usually spirometry test is used to measure the lung function which is helpful in assessing breathing patterns that identify conditions such as COPD. In our paper E-nose technology has been used to measure the amount of air inhaled/exhaled during the lung functions to increase the test efficiency in measuring Maximum breathing capacity with low cost.
