Introduction: Understanding pulmonary function at various phases after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection is critical for determining the exact pathophysiological mechanism of COVID-19. Research Question: What correlation between spirometry indices and clinical indicators in COVID-19 patients over a 6-week follow-up? Objectives: 1) To assess deterioration or improvement parameters including forced vital capacity (FVC), expiratory volume one second (FEV 1 ), ratio FEV /FVC patients. 2) study FVC, , with oxygen saturation findings. Materials Methods: A prospective observational was conducted period among 25, who were either asymptomatic mildly symptomatic. Each patient received home-use-connected spirometer—SpiroPRO ® pulse oximeter, thermometer from Briota Technologies Pvt Ltd. (BRIOTA). Patients healthcare professionals given training performing twice day as well access to mobile apps provided. Spirometry indices, symptoms, statistics used calculate VIEW™ score using machine learning algorithms. Result: The Bland–Altman plots showed that reduced slightly up 21–28 days comes back normal around 42 days. increased 21 then decreased toward . An increase increases risk complications. significant correlation. Conclusion: Home-based acts an effective tool predict lung complications also promote self-monitoring thereby reducing burden on health system.
