Phase N/A

Study Overview: This research involves a wearable device, similar to a stethoscope, that listens to breathing sounds. It helps understand wheezing in children with asthma. Wheezing is a whistling sound during breathing, common in asthma patients.

Purpose: The study aims to test if the device can continuously record breathing sounds in hospitalized children with asthma. The data will help create a tool to detect wheezing. It won't change any medical treatment, and participants will continue receiving regular care.

Participation Details: Ten children aged 6 to 17 years will participate. They must have asthma and be treated for a severe asthma attack. Participants will wear patches on their chest and back for up to 8 hours, from consent to hospital discharge. This might involve up to 14 visits, each lasting up to 8 hours.

  • Participants must be hospitalized for asthma and aged 6-17.
  • Participation involves wearing patches for monitoring up to 8 hours daily.
  • Study doesn't change current medical treatment; it's for research purposes only.
