Wireless mobile technologies facilitates home-based spirometry testing and online data processing in large epidemiological surveys: results from the IMCA-HES Feasibility Study

Introduction Neiv ICT tools to facilitate the performance of home-based spirometry testing are available. However,there are no studies showing the feasibility of using these tools and obtain high quality of data in large epidemiological surveys or health examination surveys(HES). Objective To assess the feasibility of using rvireless mobile technology as a tool for performing high-quality home-based spirornetry tests in the context of large-scale international respiratory surveys.
