Great observation
@green8 re “management of illness”. Particularly in the cases of Asthma and COPD. Company presentations have hinted that regular or constant monitoring of those conditions has for a long time been an important extension of Professor Abeyratne’s amazing use of human respiratory sounds in advancing the stethoscope into the new AI paradigmn of medical science.
Thus moving beyond the simple “one-off” recording of a sequence of coughs into constant or regular monitoring of those coughs and wheezes with the same technology.The announcement several months back regarding the development of a ruggedised wearable device that can capture coughs and respiratory sounds, worn by the patient 24 hours was thus very relevant and more important than many posters here realised at the time.
Combined with the sleep apnea measurement capabilities we can deduce that RAP is not a one “trick pony” but is launching into a wider market with a suite of capabilities in AI based respiratory diagnosis and monitoring capabilities.
Having got that off my chest I would like to say its so nice to have a big pile of new posters on the RAP threads, some like phoenixes have arisen from the ashes of the terrible awful trials in 2016 which are now overcome and fully corrected errors along the journey. Already some great new research and thinking by the likes of Green8. Welcome to the RAP threads people. Theres so much history and science here so please do your diligent research backing up your posts.
RAP threads are by and large a friendly environment where everyone gets listened to but it can become nasty just like any other stock thread, so please try to be respectful of others opinions rather than wasting our time reading posts that amount to nothing more than an bun a fight.
