AI-powered lung test to be available at GP surgeries

• A new AI-powered lung function test, N-Tidal Diagnose, will be rolled out in GP surgeries across England starting April 14, offering faster and more accurate COPD diagnoses.
• The test analyses normal breathing patterns using carbon dioxide sensors and AI, providing results in minutes, unlike traditional spirometry, which can take up to 90 minutes.
• N-Tidal Diagnose has received regulatory clearance and is expected to be available in the rest of the UK soon, with potential future applications for asthma diagnosis.
• The device is being praised as "game-changing" by medical professionals for its potential to reduce NHS waiting times and address the underdiagnosis of COPD, which affects an estimated 1.2 million UK residents.
• Developed by TidalSense, the technology aims to make respiratory diagnosis more accessible and efficient across primary and secondary healthcare.
