About this trial
Spirometry is the gold-standard tool for diagnosing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). However, its implementation in primary care is often limited by a shortage of qualified technicians and inconsistent testing quality. This study will use Augmented Reality (AR) glasses to provide real-time interaction and guidance to participants during spirometry. It will be designed as a two-phase study to evaluate the technical validity and clinical effectiveness of AR-assisted spirometry (AR-SPIRO) system.
