“Potential Mobile Application and Integrated Device for Measuring Respiratory Function”: A Systemic Review

Abstract

Background: Individuals with respiratory problems must participate in a rehabilitation program to enhance their quality of life and learn how to self-manage their illness at any age.

The addition of low to moderate-intensity daily physical activity increases fitness and respiratory muscle endurance.

Some specifications were found for a smartphone application allowing patients to receive automated feedback and remote help while exercising. Applications for mobile phones that track, help, and document fitness metrics have emerged as a practical and useful intervention.

Method: We looked through PubMed, Web of Science (SCI), Research Gate, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar for pertinent papers released in the last 10 years, from 2012 to 2022.

Finally, this analysis included publications containing randomised controlled trials (RCTs).

Result: Very a small number of studies are available on the usage of mobile phone applications and innovative devices to access respiratory function.
