This research study is testing a new breathing technique called impulse oscillometry — which uses gentle sound waves to measure how well your lungs are working. Researchers will combine the results of this test with artificial intelligence (computer learning) to see if they can better recognize and identify different lung diseases like asthma and COPD. The goal is to develop a smarter way for doctors to diagnose lung problems.
Current methods for testing lung function work well, but they don't always catch early signs of disease or pick up subtle differences between different types of lung problems. This study hopes to show that the new breathing test, combined with computer analysis, could be more accurate and helpful for doctors trying to diagnose and understand lung diseases.

You will come to the hospital or clinic for a visit where researchers will perform a special breathing test called impulse oscillometry on you. This test involves breathing normally into a gentle machine that sends small sound waves through your lungs and measures how they respond — it's similar to a standard spirometry test but doesn't require any special breathing effort. Your results will be compared to your existing spirometry results to help researchers develop better ways to recognize lung diseases.
