The 'Wing' is a small lung sensor that easily fits into a pocket and provides accurate measurements of lung functions.
Sparo Labs designed this lung sensor to plug into a smartphone's headphone jack and work alongside a mobile companion app. Simply blow into the device and it will record quick and medically accurate results related to your lungs. The data is recorded over time in order to identify and understand triggers like certain medications or activities that affect your breathing.
The data can also be safely and securely shared with medical professionals to help determine a plan of action related to health. Besides being designed for asthma sufferers, the Wing can also benefit those who suffer from other respiratory illnesses as well.
