Tools Used and Related Data Collected by Participants at Home During Each Examination
| Tool | Data |
|---|---|
| Electronic stethoscope (StethoMe) | Auscultation audio recordings from a set of 6-8 chest points (examination) (Figure 1) |
| AI-based algorithm (StethoMe AI) automatic analysis of recorded sounds | Wheezes intensity Rhonchi intensity Coarse crackles intensity Fine crackles intensity RR HR I/E |
| Pulse oximeter (Accurate FS20P, Accurate FS20C) | Peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) |
| Peak flow meter (Mini Wright Peak Flow and Low Range) | Peak expiratory flow |
| Survey (Figure 2) | Breathing quality expressed on a 5-point scale Symptoms |
AI = artificial intelligence; HR = heart rate; I/E = inspiration-to-expiration duration ratio; RR = respiratory rate.
Note: These data were used as input features for the development of autonomous detection of asthma exacerbation (decision support classifiers).
