About this technology
Overview
NASA research in aircraft sound production provided a theoretical basis for a mode of the production of human respiratory sounds. Respiratory changes that occur after inhaling cigarette smoke may be recorded and analyzed. The research team includes representatives from the Medical College of Virginia, RTI, Bruel and Kjaer Instruments. A commercial market as a diagnostic tool is anticipated.
