Case Western Reserve University scientists invent novel breath-controlled device that allows users to command "smart" technology and monitor breathing

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have invented a device that allows users to control "smart technology" by changing their breathing patterns.

The self-powered unit fits into the nostrils and could enhance the quality of life for people with limited mobility or inability to speak clearly. Uses may program the device to send automatic alerts to medical personnel if an individual has trouble breathing.
