Abstract
Developing the means to measure the effects of COPD is important, both in terms of understanding disease pathophysiology for research purposes, and in terms of accurately assessing the effects of treatment on the patient. Future developments will include computerising these methodologies to permit faster and more individual patient-centred measurements.
