Abstract:

A respiratory therapy instrument providing a telehealth platform for pulmonary care includes a housing with opposed extension arms, an airway tube removably clamped between the opposed extension arms, a pair of pressure sensors, and a circuit board retained within the housing. The pressure sensors are in communication with an interior of the airway tube and are configured to detect pulmonary flow data within the airway tube. The circuit board is configured to collect the pulmonary flow data detected by the pair of pressure sensors and includes a transmitter to send data, including the collected pulmonary flow data, wirelessly to a computing device. The collected pulmonary flow data is utilized in game play for an incentivization game operated on the computing device. The respiratory therapy instrument is configurable for use in a first configuration, whereby the respiratory therapy instrument operates to adapt an existing respiratory therapy device for telehealth functionality, or in a second configuration, whereby the respiratory therapy instrument operates as an independent respiratory therapy device with telehealth functionality.
