ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying how the voice, specifically the vowel sound "a," changes in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) compared to healthy individuals. The researchers hope to find specific voice patterns that could help identify COPD more easily in the future. The trial is currently active but not looking for new participants.
To be eligible for this study, participants need to be at least 18 years old and can be either men or women. Those who are younger than 18 cannot join. If someone decides to take part, they will likely be asked to record their voice using a mobile phone. This research could lead to new ways of diagnosing and monitoring COPD, which is a condition that affects breathing. It's important to know that this study is focused on understanding voice changes, so participants will be contributing to valuable research that could benefit others with COPD.
