A world-leading technology platform

Over the last five years the research team, led by Associate Professor Udantha Abeyratne at The University of Queensland, has pioneered algorithms that accurately characterise the state of patients’ respiratory tracts. The team has created a powerful platform for respiratory disease diagnosis and management which only requires the sound of the patient’s cough or breathing and does not require physical contact. With the high quality microphones in today’s smartphones the platform can be delivered without the need for additional hardware.
