Using oscillometry and machine learning to identify asthma and COPD patterns
Feasibility Study of Forced Oscillometry in the Prediction of Chronic Respiratory Diseases Using Machine Learning Approaches
This project will test whether machine learning applied to oscillometry and spirometry data from adults with asthma or COPD can recognize different respiratory patterns.

What this trial studies
This is a single-center retrospective analysis using clinical records, spirometry, and impulse oscillometry measurements collected at Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau. Investigators will apply and compare various machine learning algorithms to detect characteristic respiratory patterns associated with asthma, COPD, and other chronic lung diseases. The dataset includes adults with confirmed diagnoses and available spirometry; cases with acute respiratory infection are excluded. Performance of the models will be measured against established clinical diagnoses and pulmonary function metrics.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Adults aged 18–90 with a confirmed diagnosis of asthma, COPD, or interstitial lung disease and available spirometry/oscillometry data recorded at the participating hospital are ideal candidates.
Not a fit: Patients without spirometry or oscillometry data, children under 18, those with an acute respiratory infection at the time of testing, or those lacking a confirmed diagnosis are unlikely to benefit from this analysis.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could help clinicians more accurately distinguish respiratory disease patterns from routine lung tests and support earlier or more tailored treatment decisions.
How similar studies have performed: Similar approaches combining oscillometry and machine learning are emerging and have shown promising early results, but they remain relatively novel and not widely validated.
