ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different ways to support the cheeks of participants while measuring how well their lungs are working. The goal is to see how accurately lung function can be measured using a special technique called oscillometry, which helps assess respiratory health. Participants will experience two methods: one where an expert holds their cheeks manually (the traditional method) and another where a built-in cheek support is used in a mouthpiece.

The trial is open to individuals aged 5 to 75 years who can follow the study procedures. Participants can expect to help researchers understand which method provides more accurate lung measurements and which one is more comfortable. Additionally, the study will look at how different face sizes can affect the comfort of cheek support and any errors that might occur with the new mouthpiece. If you or someone you know is eligible and interested, this study could provide valuable insights into improving lung function tests.
