Lung sounds captured by the RESP Biosensor were compared to peak expiratory flow (PEF) results post-treatment in 40 patients with COPD or asthma. Results showed that abnormal lung sounds such as wheezing or coughing may offer an independent assessment of treatment response in addition to PEF measurements.
