COPD is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that obstructs the ability to breathe.
Aeropod
Synopsis
This 10-week Junior year student project was lead by Sonosite during the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic.
Aeropod seeks to promote an active lifecycle and improve factors that lead to better recovery and management of COPD.
Of the top five causes of death, lung disease is the only one still increasing. Air pollution is increasing due to industrialization, deforestation, and vaping / smoking exposure. Additionally, the average American spends 93% of life indoors where air quality is typically worse due to unventilated cooking fumes, cleaning products, and product off-gassing.
