Chronic breathing disorder is a significant disease impacting society today. Many who are challenged with this disorder are not aware when circumstances become significant enough to warrant medical care. This disorder is close to us as the problem touches loved ones, relatives, colleagues and even ourselves.
TRS began evaluating technology approaches to aid in early warning, detection, and self-regulating methodologies in support of combating this problem. In 2014 we began research in the area of thoracic impedance. This effort took on an initial approach to understanding and evaluating previous research conducted related to the correlation of breathing patterns and measurements through skin conductance.
Our research platform in this domain is geared toward detecting breathing irregularities through the use and application of wireless and wearable technologies and combining this capability with reporting capabilities used in telemedical application. This approach is to create a wireless wearable technology (based on the supported research) that alerts the user or patient when a breathing irregularity is detected and/or selectively alert medical professionals when medical care is required.
Our Wireless Acoustic Respiratory System (WARS) technology is based on applying such research and utilizing data analytics extracted from wireless biofeedback, while focusing on the objective to provide innovative early warning and preventive alternatives to users or patients challenged with breathing disorders. If you believe this is an area that deserves continued research as well as the development of such solutions as the WARS, we welcome your support.
