Goal: The primary goal of the Pnoi-phone project is to develop an innovative biomedical system that utilizes acoustic-based methods for diagnosing and continuously monitoring pulmonary diseases through the analysis of breath sounds. By seamlessly integrating cutting-edge technology, the Pnoi-phone aims to significantly enhance respiratory healthcare, improving patient outcomes and transforming the way pulmonary diseases are diagnosed, monitored, and managed.

Objectives:

1. Hardware Development:

   • Objective: Design and create a custom digital stethoscope optimized to accurately capture breath sounds from both the posterior chest and mouth.
   • Rationale: A specialized digital stethoscope is fundamental to acquiring high-quality breath sound data, a crucial aspect of the Pnoi-phone system.

2. AI Model Training:

   • Objective: Train a sophisticated AI model capable of predicting pulmonary function test values based on the collected breath sound data.
   • Rationale: The AI model is central to providing real-time analysis and assessment of pulmonary health, assisting in timely disease diagnosis and monitoring.

3. App Development:

   • Objective: Develop a user-friendly mobile application (Pnoi-phone app) that controls the device, records breath sounds, and visualizes test results.
   • Rationale: The app serves as the interface between users and the Pnoi-phone, ensuring easy usability and data accessibility for both healthcare professionals and patients.

4. Integration and Compatibility:

   • Objective: Ensure seamless integration and compatibility between the digital stethoscope, AI model, and mobile application.
   • Rationale: A well-integrated system guarantees smooth functioning, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of pulmonary health assessment.

5. User Engagement and Adoption:

   • Objective: Promote the adoption of the Pnoi-phone among healthcare professionals and individuals with respiratory conditions.
   • Rationale: High user engagement and widespread adoption are key to achieving the desired impact on pulmonary healthcare and patient well-being.

6. Regulatory Compliance:

   • Objective: Ensure compliance with all relevant medical device regulations and standards.
   • Rationale: Adhering to regulations is critical for the successful deployment and usage of the Pnoi-phone in a healthcare setting.

7. Market Deployment and Acceptance:

   • Objective: Successfully launch the Pnoi-phone in the market and achieve a positive reception among target users.
   • Rationale: Market acceptance validates the project's success and encourages broader usage, maximizing the impact on respiratory healthcare.
