Background:

The COVID-19 outbreak has strained the health care system. New tools are needed for diagnostic testing and monitoring of people who have the virus. Researchers want to test a device they hope can screen, detect, and monitor symptoms linked to respiratory diseases like COVID-19.

Objective:

To evaluate and validate a device that measures breathing, body temperature, heart rate, and tissue oxygenation.

Eligibility:

Healthy adults ages 18 and older with no flu-like symptoms and no current signs of infection, cough, fever, or sneezing.

Design:

Participants will have a physical exam. Their vital signs will be taken.

Participants will sit in a chair. They will be monitored for 60 to 80 minutes while they do the following tasks:

Rest for 10 minutes. They will repeat this after each task.

Hold their breath for up to 2 minutes and then rest for 2 minutes. They will do this task 3 times.

Pace-breathe with breathing rates of 10, 20, and 30 breaths per minute. They will do this task 2 times.

Breathe air that has 5% of carbon dioxide for 5 minutes.

During these tasks, data will be collected and recorded with a pulse oximeter, thermometer, respiratory belt, and spirometer.

Participants will fill out questionnaires related to their daily activity (medication intake, exercise, smoking, and drinking).

Participation will last for 2 to 3 hours.

-Male or female aged 18 years or greater.

-In good general health as evidenced by medical history with no signs of cough, sneeze and upper respiratory symptoms.

-Body temperature in normal range (afebrile, temperature < 100.4 (Infinite) F) on the day of the experiment.

-Individuals with history of seizure.

-Smokers and those on narcotics.

-Pregnant women are excluded due to risk associated to hypercapnia risk
