    Hi, I too suffer from Asthma, and while I have never let it stop me from doing something I want to do (I’ve played hockey my whole life), it is still very annoying and I am researching for a paper I’m writing about GPS and different uses and the ethics behind them. I just came across multiple articles about this and am very interested in it and helping with it anyway I can. I wish I could donate but its hard while still in college. Anyways, please let me know if there is anyway I can be of any help or to be a part of your research program. Thank you.

    I am a family physician, looking to set up a low-overhead private clinic, and am very interested in acquiring a working model, when one becomes available. Sounds like you guys are pretty close…I’ll keep checking in. Also, I’d be happy to provide feedback and HIPAA-compliant spirometry-data as needed for further development after acquiring a device.
