Chronic respiratory diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, and post-operative lung complications require continuous pulmonary rehabilitation to maintain lung strength and recovery. However, conventional incentive spirometers provide only basic visual feedback and lack digital tracking, limiting patient motivation and clinical monitoring. The IoT-Based Spirometer for At-Home Pulmonary Rehabilitation is a portable, low-cost device designed to measure and monitor breathing performance in real time. The system uses IR sensors to detect ball elevation during inhalation and an ESP32 microcontroller to record the duration of airflow effort. The data is transmitted wirelessly to the Blynk IoT platform, where patients can view progress instantly, and healthcare professionals can monitor performance remotely.  The integration of IoT technology makes this device not only affordable but also scalable for widespread home use, particularly among low-income and rural patients. Its simple operation, portable power source, and connectivity allow for continuous monitoring without clinical supervision. This project’s impact lies in its ability to transform traditional respiratory therapy into a smart, data-driven system that enhances patient engagement and medical follow-up.
