Airway obstructive diseases like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchitis produces wheeze pattern in lung sounds. Due to changing lifestyles, pulmonary diseases are increasing day by day. The current methods of detecting diseases for example asthma involves usage of spirometers and stethoscope. The results with these techniques are not efficient or depend upon doctors’ experience. Accuracy of existing methods is depend on patient’s health. It is troublesome for heart patients and children. In such cases, need for automatic tools that can detect presence of wheeze present in lung sound is emerged. This paper gives long-term solution to existing problems. This paper also explains details about wheeze pattern in lung sounds. This paper involves the system for lung sound acquisition and real time pre-processing and detection of wheeze in lung sounds using DSP processor. The aim of the paper is to design and develop portable device for acquisition and detection of wheeze in lung sounds.
