Asthma
attacks affect children and adults causing shortness of breath, wheezing and
cough. Wheezes are musical sounds associated with airway flow limitation. The Personal Wheezometer, a hand
held home device, allows asthma patients to measure their wheeze rate (where a
physician with a stethoscope is not readily available) by applying it to the
lower neck (adults and older children) or the upper breast bone (infants) for
30 seconds.
