The purpose of this project was to develop and evaluate two non-invasive systems to quantify airway disease in children that is correlated to airway resistance, i.e. one using pulsus paradoxus to determine effort or force generated to breath and one to estimate airflow with breathing using the microsoft kinect device to measure chest wall motion. Through this funding we were able to develop the device and bioinformatic methods to determine air flow using chest wall motion and pulsus paradoxus using pulse oximetry and do demonstrate its utility in adults and test in several young children.
