Fluke Asthma Whistle Makes Checking Flow Rates Fun

The Fluke Asthma Whistle could help encourage compliance of patients who use peak flow meters by turning the test into a game.

Many people who suffer from asthma are asked to keep track of how efficiently their air is exhaled (peak expiratory flow) in order to monitor lung health. However, many people—especially children—do not use their meters often enough.

To help encourage more flow meter diligence, the Fluke Asthma Whistle from digiDoc Technologies looks more like a toy than a piece of medical tech and emits a whistle when used—providing immediate feedback. The Fluke has no electronics of its own, and instead is paired with a smartphone companion app that analyzes the sound of the whistle and translates it into lung function information.
