This research being done into the effectiveness of targeted respiratory training with subjects identified with unsatisfied inspiration will have great benefit to the company as it expands its user base, and increases awareness of the effectiveness of their product and training methodologies. Olivia (intern) will gain new skills by working with an industry partner to better understand how her current research skills can inform the development of effective medical devices. Additionally, this work will complement her previous research in exercise and breathlessness, providing hands-on experience in testing the efficacy of a medical device on breathlessness and respiratory physiology. Lastly, gaining experience working in industry will be an invaluable asset as she moves forward in her research career.
