SenseGuard (SG) is an innovative device for respiratory monitoring. At this study SG measurement will be integrated in a Methacholine Challenge Test (MCT) for monitoring changes in airway obstruction occurred during MCT in parallel to spirometry.
SenseGuard (SG) is a wireless wearable medical device intended for monitoring of patient's breathing. It allows to seamlessly monitor patient's tidal breathing, at rest or during daily activities, and to extract critical respiratory parameters, such as respiration rate (RR) and durations, ratios and variability of phases within the breath-cycle, including: inspired breath (Ti) and expired breath (Te). The study goal is to evaluate the capability of SG to measure clinical changes in respiratory parameters. During Methacholine Challenge Test (MCT), asthma patients demonstrate airway responsiveness due to airway obstruction. SG will be used to measure respiratory parameters during MCT in parallel to spirometry and the correlation between measurable respiratory parameters will be assessed. Successful study results will demonstrate the capability of SG to measure changes in airway obstruction leading to future implementation of SG for monitoring of patients with respiratory diseases and improvement of their clinical outcome.

Respiratory parameters (Inhalation and Exhalation time and ratio) measured by SG during MCT can indicate for changes in airway obstruction occurred in positive MCT
SG respiratory parameters(Inhalation and Exhalation (I/E) time and ratio), can measure successfully changes in respiratory parameters during MCT procedure, in at least of 70% of the subjects with MCT positive result (FEV1 \< 20% of predicted FEV1).
Time frame: 6 months
SG respiratory parameters (Inhalation and Exhalation time and ratio) are in correlation with Spirometry values (FEV1) obtained during MCT
There is at least 70% correlation between changes in respiratory parameters measured by SG (Inhalation and Exhalation (I/E) time and ratio),and by Spirometry values (%FEV1 reduced from baseline) for at least 70% of subjects participating in the study.
Time frame: 6 months
