Observational Study Using the CoVa Monitoring System 3
Observational Study Using the CoVa Monitoring System 3
Asthma is a complex and chronic inflammatory disorder which is associated with reversible
 airway obstruction and bronchial hyperresponsiveness. It is one of the most prevalent chronic
 diseases in children and prevalence further increases worldwide. Typical symptoms of asthma
 are breathlessness, cough, wheezing and chest tightness. These symptoms are particularly
 prevalent at night-time. Understanding and tracking these symptoms can lead to better
 management of asthma.

 Auscultation using a stethoscope is standard clinical practice, however there is currently no
 available solution to detect respiratory sounds throughout the day and night.

 The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of detecting respiratory sounds in
 healthy children with the CoVa patch.
