Biosensor for measuring cardiopulmonary activity and method for its use

摘要

A portable sensor device (10) for obtaining physiological information, including cardiopulmonary information, from a human or animal subject. The device includes a housing (14) having a lumen (22) and a respiratory port (20) in fluid communication with the lumen (22). The lumen (22) can be divided into plural airflow tubes (30,32). Spirometric data can be integrated with non-spirometric cardiopulmonary data collected by the device (10). Additionally, the sensor device (10) can be operably coupled to a bioactive composition delivery device. Methods for using the sensor device and methods for making the sensor device also are disclosed. <IMAGE>
