Spiro (spirograph)

2024: Product Announcement

In August 2024, it became known that Russian scientists presented the first domestic spirograph for diagnosing lung diseases using ultrasonic technology. The innovative device, called Spiro, was developed by specialists from the Siberian State Medical University (SibGMU) as part of the Priority-2030 development program.

According to "TASS," the new spirograph is designed to measure respiratory parameters and identify disorders in the work of human lungs. The principle of operation of the device is based on the measurement of air flow using built-in ultrasonic sensors. The device is portable and can be used both as part of telemedicine complexes and individually.

The development of SibGMU has no analogues in Russia and is designed to help patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchial asthma better control their condition. Doctors conducting monitoring will be able to more effectively adjust drug therapy. In addition, the spirograph can be used during respiratory rehabilitation after suffering COVID-19 on the recommendation of a pulmonologist.

One of the main advantages of the new device is the ability to transmit breathing parameters to the mobile device via a wireless communication channel for subsequent assessment by specialists. This greatly simplifies the process of monitoring the condition of patients and allows you to obtain objective information with high accuracy.

The head of the strategic project "Bionic Digital Platforms" of the Siberian State Medical University, Candidate of Medical Sciences Ivan Tolmachev noted that the development of a spirograph is the result of the integration of the scientific potential and clinical activities of the university. According to him, the new device solves two problems at once: it simplifies the provision of medical care for specialists and provides accurate data less dependent on environmental parameters.^[1]
