Demo Day 2014: COPD Detection
Channel: UNeMed Corporation
Date: 05/11/2014

A new technology may change how chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations are diagnosed. 

Created by Jenna Yentes, Ph.D., at the Biomechanics Research Building at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, along with pulmonologists Drs. Stephen Rennard and Amol Patil from the University of Nebraska Medical Center, the technology could alert physicians of changes in disease status much earlier than current methods. This will allow for earlier intervention and lowering of health care costs.
