Read our Copd research guide →Researchers want to learn whether simple voice recordings and breathing measurements can help detect when emphysema (a type of lung damage) is severe. You would perform some voice tasks, record your breathing patterns, and do a light exercise test. This information, combined with your existing lung scans, will help scientists build a computer model to identify emphysema early and more easily.
Emphysema is often diagnosed using expensive CT scans and complex lung function tests. This study aims to create a simpler, cheaper screening tool based on voice and breathing patterns that could help doctors catch emphysema sooner and help more patients get treatment earlier.

You will visit the clinic once. During your visit, you'll read aloud, hold vowel sounds, cough, and breathe quietly while researchers record your voice and measure your breathing. You'll also complete a simple exercise test (standing up and sitting down five times), then repeat the voice and breathing measurements. Your participation takes a few hours, and researchers will use your existing lung scan results and breathing test data to develop their detection model.
