Abstract: An apparatus used in the medical industry, in order to increase transpulmonary pressure and respiratory volumes, to improve inspiratory muscle performance and reestablish the normal pulmonary hyperinflation, through the employment of electronic technology, providing audible, simulated, verbal, human sounding words, that assist, guide and prompt, increasing patient usage. In one embodiment, the Incentive Spirometer uses a capacitive sensing circuit for sensing movement of the float within the tube wall and for obtaining a measurement or reading of the patient's performance with the Incentive Spirometer.

Abstract: A docking station for receiving, storing and protecting an Incentive Spirometer. The docking station helps to significantly reduce, if not prevent, the Incentive Spirometer from falling to help reduce damage to all types of Incentive Spirometers. The docking station can comprise a cradle shaped unit preferably corresponding to the shape of the Incentive Spirometer that stands alone on a surface. For further protection, the docking station can be attached to the table, bedside or other surface through the use of brackets or clips or similar attachments. The docking station can be provided with one or more suction cups on its bottom surface to easily attach to a table or similar flat surface. The bottom or base portion of the docking station can be constructed from a heavier material or be provided with weight for further stability.

Abstract: An apparatus used in the medical industry, in order to increase transpulmonary pressure and respiratory volumes, to improve inspiratory muscle performance and re-establish the normal pulmonary hyperinflation, through the employment of electronic technology, providing audible, simulated, verbal, human sounding words, that assist, guide and prompt, increasing patient usage. In the past, lack of usage of this simple plastic, antiquated, disposable unit, by the patient, has contributed to severe problems, such as pneumonia. Without prompting, the patient finds it hard to inhale into a tube repetitively, to improve their lungs. Previous applications of prior equipment has been poor, thus adding intelligence in the form of electronic technology, which prompts without assistance, is a tremendous advantage in helping not only the sighted, but also the blind as well, since normally only written information accompanies the incentive spirometer, thus, changing the use of this medical device as we know it today.
