Mechanical ventilation systems require a device for measuring the air flow provided to a patient in order to monitor and ensure the correct quantity of air proportionated to the patient, this device is the air flow sensor. At the beginning of the COV...

We present, for the first time, the design, development and testing of a portable ultra-low

velocity flow sensor with a disposable architecture for use in medical applications. 3Dmicroprinting

technique was used to fabricate high aspect ratio microscop...

Accurate flow measurement is a ubiquitous task in fields such as industry, medical technology, or chemistry; it remains however challenging due to small measurement ranges or erosive flows. Inspiration for possible measurement methods can come from n...

Detection of air bubbles in fluidic channels plays a fundamental role in all that medical equipment where liquids flow inside patients’ blood vessels or bodies. In this work, we propose a multi-parameter sensing system for simultaneous recognit...

This work proposes adapting an existing sensor and embedding it on mannequins used in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training to accurately measure the amount of air supplied to the lungs during ventilation. Mathematical modeling, calibration, a...

Approved medical face masks have been shown to prevent the spread of respiratory droplets associated with coronavirus transmission in specific settings. The primary goal of this study was to develop a new strategy to assess the filtering and transmis...

Background: Exposure to air pollution is associated with acute pediatric asthma exacerbations, including reduced lung function, rescue medication usage, and increased symptoms; however, most studies are limited in investigating longitudinal changes i...
