LUNG FUNCTION MONITORING

摘要

A signal of a current-voltage sensor array in one embodiment is processed for output of data in a form for use by a care provider. The current-voltage sensor array in one embodiment is a non-invasive current-voltage sensor array adapted to surround a thorax of a patient. The output of data in one embodiment is provided in a lung function visualization output form that depicts functioning of a patient's lungs.
