Abstract
A portable sensor device for obtaining physiological information, including cardiopulmonary information, from a human or animal subject. The device includes a housing having a lumen and a respiratory port in fluid communication with the lumen. The lumen can be divided into plural airflow tubes. Spirometric data can be integrated with non-spirometric cardiopulmonary data collected by the device. Additionally, the sensor device can be operably coupled to a bioactive composition delivery device. Methods for using the sensor device and methods for making the sensor device also are disclosed.
