New breath-taking technology helping patients lose weight
A new device is capable of analyzing the human metabolism in a way that provides data enabling physicians to develop personalized care plans for people to reduce their body weight. Called Breezing, the device developed by Erica Forzani, a professor in the the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy, part of the Fulton Schools, analyzes the body’s oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production. It has been approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration in the U.S. and by the European Union. The venture is also seeking expansion of such official approvals to help people in other countries address obesity.
