Putong is designed based on respiratory therapy for COPD patients and the elderly. It’s more efficient to combine chest percussion with postural drainage. To let patients cough up sputum more effectively and quickly, the design of earpiece is added in Putong to judge the position of the patient's sputum by auscultating whether the air flow sound in the respiratory tract is abnormal, along with the teaching instructions by the tapping map and postural drainage, which even makes caregivers without medical background be able to assist patients easily and correctly.
