Wearable technology: role in respiratory health and disease
Full text linkIn the future, diagnostic devices will be able to monitor a patient's physiological or biochemical parameters continuously, under natural physiological conditions and in any environment through wearable biomedical sensors. Together with apps that capture and interpret data, and integrated enterprise and cloud data repositories, the networks of wearable devices and body area networks will constitute the healthcare's Internet of Things. In this review, four main areas of interest for respiratory healthcare are described: pulse oximetry, pulmonary ventilation, activity tracking and air quality assessment. Although several issues still need to be solved, smart wearable technologies will provide unique opportunities for the future or personalised respiratory medicine
Recent advances in respiratory muscle physiology and assessment
No full textRecent advances in respiratory muscle physiology and assessment have enhanced our understanding of breathing mechanics, muscle adaptation and disease-related changes. New imaging techniques, including MRI and ultrasound, provide real-time insight into muscle structure and function. Optoelectronic plethysmography and electromyography have improved the analysis of respiratory muscle activation and coordination. Research highlights the impact of inactivity, ageing and chronic diseases like COPD on muscle performance, emphasising the importance of mitochondrial function and fibre composition. Studies on respiratory muscle fatigue and the metaboreflex reveal how breathing effort influences exercise tolerance and circulation. Emerging technologies, such as electrical impedance tomography and contrast-enhanced ultrasound, offer promising diagnostic and monitoring capabilities. These advancements are shaping personalised treatment strategies, improving disease management and optimising mechanical ventilation and rehabilitation approaches for individuals with respiratory conditions
