Good news! A new technology may help to non-invasively predict children or newborn at risk of an asthma attack.

According to researchers, the new technology may help to non-invasively analyse lung sounds in children and newborn at risk of an asthma attack.

The researchers analysed 70 severely asthmatic children.

The findings indicated that the approach was useful for predicting attack symptoms and for identifying asymptomatic children at high risk for an asthma attack.

The results are published in Respirology.
