Asthma study: AWARE
Official title Acoustic Waveform Respiratory Evaluation
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06512064
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This study is testing whether a phone can measure airway size and detect breathing blockages. It also looks at whether this helps diagnose airway diseases and spot flare‑ups.
- Who it's for
- You may be able to join if you have asthma, COPD, cystic fibrosis, ciliary motility disorders, bronchiectasis, airway malacia, or you are a healthy person.
- What's involved
