A New Standard Of Home Monitoring
Technology
No Forced Breathing Maneuvers
Tidal Breathing
Our test is done during tidal breathing, also known as quiet breathing. Without the need to blow forcefully, making it ideal for people with respiratory symptoms and small children.
No Cooperation
Our lung function test does not require any special instructions or breathing maneuvers. The test is completely automated and can be performed on all ages, including neonates.
Airway Resistance (Raw)
We measure Airway-Resistance, the most physically accurate parameter for measuring airway obstructions and twice as sensitive as FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 sec).
Non Invasive
NE Field’s testing method is non invasive and only requires breathing through our device through a disposable mouthpiece.
Overview
NE Field Diagnostics Ltd. was established in 2015 to develop and commercialize an innovative technology for lung function testing and monitoring. After extensive research and consulting with leading experts in the field of pulmonology, we came to a conclusion; The best way to accurately measure lung functions is to find a way to measure alveolar pressure. Once we succeeded calculating Airway-Resistance and respiratory-compliance was simple. These are two of the most important parameters when diagnosing pulmonary diseases and also in monitoring chronic respiratory symptoms. NE Field has done precisely that! What was only possible in a body-box (plethysmograph), is now possible in a hand-held device, connected to you smart-phone. Thanks to our patented device, method and algorithm.
Aim
Our aim is to provide a reliable solution for home monitoring of chronic respiratory diseases, such as COPD and Asthma. We intend to prevent exacerbation and unnecessary hospitalization by providing a simple test that did not exist until now. $50B are spent annually in the USA alone on COPD, of which $13B on hospitalization. 22% of COPD patients are readmitted in under 30 days. Clinical tests have proven that home-monitoring can dramatically reduce these numbers. All that was left was to make home-monitoring easy and affordable… we did that.
