Digital Incentive Spirometer for Assessing Incentive Spirometry Adherence

University of Pennsylvania·interventional·Posted Oct 8, 2024·Updated Oct 20, 2025

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Adherence to digital incentive spirometer in the postop period after major chest surgery. for Pulmonary Function and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 31 participants across 6 sites.

Detailed Summary

This single-arm proof-of-concept research study aims to assess the effect of a digital incentive spirometer (IS) device and a companion mobile-based app on incentive spirometry adherence in patients post-surgery. The digital IS utilizes a sensor to measure inspiratory breaths, and these data are transmitted wirelessly to a secure cloud database. The spirometer and app include a patient reminder system, exercise gamification strategies, progress tracking, and additional features designed to promote patient IS use.

Interventions

Adherence to digital incentive spirometer in the postop period after major chest surgery.device

Major chest surgery can lead to respiratory compromise and traditional breathing exercises are not supervised or monitored. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of a multifeatured digital IS and integrated phone app on patient adherence to incentive spirometry. Together the device and app will include the following functions: an auditory and haptic reminder cue, visual and auditory cues to guide exercise completion, exercise gamification, and data tracking and visualization features.
