   I will double-check that the wording is correct, but these are standard clauses you would find in any breathing or meditation app, for instance, see Headspace T+Cs here: https://www.headspace.com/terms-and-conditions-minimal

   oh, I would be keen to know why - there's a troubleshooting guide here which might help: https://www.lungy.app/how-to . The app also won't respond to breathing whilst Bluetooth headphones are connected and used fo

   Hmm it currently uses TrueDepth on devices that support it. I think LIDAR is only with back-facing cameras?

   Thank you, that’s very kind. The app was a very personal project to me where I could combine everything I am interested in into one thing - I’m really pleased that comes across.

   Thanks for the feedback and that's interesting - I wonder if your free-diving training has something to do with it - I guess you must be very attuned to feelings of hyperventilation before a long dive? If it feels like you're hype

   haha - that definitely needs correcting!

   thanks! I did - the animations are using AE and Lottie, the CG is Houdini + Redshift, and the rest of the visuals are captured from the app.

   Thanks, that's very useful feedback. At the moment, the camera isn't utilised to its full potential - it is used to guide positioning rather than measuring accessory muscles or shoulder movement. I think overall adding sensors to

    Thanks - really glad you appreciate the synth! I had a great time building out the synths and sequencers Exactly, so the inhalation is in through the nose and out through the mouth for the app partly to detect the exhalation, but also gener

    Amazing, thanks so much for the feedback!

    Yep, it does seem some people don't like the name, which I do understand. I wanted to add a slight lightness to something medical-sounding, I guess trying to make healthcare less intimidating - I'm sorry it has those connotations

    This would be great to include! I have been getting a few requests since the article was published...

    Thank you! Yep, I designed the visuals and the screens were a joint effort with a UI designer.

    oh amazing, I was looking for equivalent frameworks - thank you!

    Yep, it would definitely be a use case - so post-operative chest or abdominal surgery patients are often given breathing exercises. It's not yet a medical device, so can only be used in stress and anxiety ('wellness'). The ba

    Thank you! Working on it, hopefully at some point this year..

    Hmm, I'll have a look - that would be a really good figure. You can estimate the air velocity with the mic (then derive the flow rate and volume), but I'm not sure how closely it matches spirometry (lung function tests)
21. 171.▲
    by lukko 4y ago

    Yep - that is one of the reasons I wanted to use the mic input, so if someone was hyperventilating it would be possible to tell them to slow down and breathe less deeply.

    Thank you! So for now it's freemium, as a wellness app - so monthly, yearly or lifetime subscription to unlock all visuals, features and exercises. It may be at some point it can be provided via NHS trusts / health insurance compa

    Thanks! Yep, I would love for it to also be a web app one day, I think definitely would be possible now with WebGPU. Will hopefully be able to release an Android version this year..

    I think CXR in pneumonia is justified - if there's deterioration it's very helpful to have imaging at admission and consolidation on a CXR is usually expected for diagnosis (in UK), especially if the patient is requiring oxygen an
