Combined image-based approach for monitoring the adherence to inhaled medications
Vieira-Marques, Pedro; Teixeira, João Fonseca; Valente, José; Pinho, Bernardo; Guedes, Rui; Almeida, Rute; Jácome, Cristina; Pereira, AnaThe adherence to inhaled controller medications is of critical importance to achieve good clinical results in patients with chronic respiratory diseases. To objectively verify the adherence, a detection tool was previously developed and integrated in the mobile application InspirerMundi, based on image processing methods. In this work, a new approach for enhanced adherence verification was developed. In a first...

Almeida, Rute; Bernardo, Pinho; Jácome, Cristina; Teixeira, João Fonseca; Amaral, Rita; Gonçalves, Ivânia; Lopes, Filipa; Pinheiro, Ana CatarinaEvaluation of lung function is central to the management of chronic obstructive respiratory diseases. It is typically evaluated with a spirometer by a specialized health professional, who ensures the correct execution of a forced expiratory manoeuvre (FEM). Audio recording of a FEM using a smart device embedded microphone can be used to self-monitor lung function between clinical visits. The challenge of microp...
AIRDOC: Smart mobile application for individualized support and monitoring of r...
Almeida, Rute; Amaral, Rita; Jácome, Cristina; Martinho, Diogo; Vieira-Marques, Pedro; Jacinto, Tiago; Ferreira, Ana; Almeida, Ana; Martins, ConstantinoCurrent tools for self-management of chronic obstructive respiratory diseases (CORD) are difficult to use, not individualized and requiring laborious analysis by health professionals, discouraging their use in healthcare. There is an opportunity for cost-effective and easy-to-disseminate advanced technological solutions directed to patients and attractive to different stakeholders. The strategy of AIRDOC is to ...

Correlation between rhinomanometry and spirometry parameters in 971 adults
Gonçalves, Ivânia; Jacinto, Tiago; Amaral, Rita; Pereira, Ana M.; Araújo, Luís M.; Couto, Mariana; Fonseca, João A.; Amaral, RitaThere is a lack of published studies about the association between rhinomanometry and spirometry results. Some studies have shown a moderate correlation between spirometry parameters and other nasal objective measures such as Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow (PNIF). We aimed to study the correlation between rhinomanometry and spirometry parameters.
