The diagnosis of either asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is currently based on a combination of symptoms, different lung tests and sometimes a 'trial by treatment'. Both COPD and Asthma tests currently include forced breathing using a test known as spirometry which can be difficult and uncomfortable for people to perform and needs expert interpretation. Asthma can require multiple tests in sequence which can make the process of diagnosis long and inconvenient for patients. In the UK, there have been challenges providing enough testing for COPD and asthma, in part because the tests are challenging to provide in the community to everyone who needs one.

People who have been referred for routine lung t
