title = "Design of a Low-cost Digital Spirometer for Remote Monitoring of COPD and COVID Patients",
abstract = "This research presents the proposal for a low-cost digital spirometer called “Phukuy” that includes the following sensors: an oximeter that measures the percentage of oxygenation of the blood (SpO2) and the heart rate (bpm), a body and environmental thermometer, and a barometer. This spirometer will serve for the diagnosis and remote monitoring of people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) including COVID; benefiting people who do not have a nearby health center; This will help decongest hospitals and prevent them from becoming an infectious source. In addition, all the information obtained from the measurements will be saved on a web platform, which can be accessed by a designated doctor. The proposed spirometer was validated with a 3-liter calibration syringe, obtaining an average error of 0.033 L (1.1\%) and a maximum error of 0.070 L (2.33\%), which is within the range recommended by SEPAR (± 3 \%).",
