Abstract
Pneumonia is the fourth leading cause of death due to disease, following cancer, heart disease and cerebrovascular disease. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease also occupies 6th place. In particular, the mortality rate is lower or slightly increased in other diseases while the mortality rate due to lung disease is increasing rapidly. Most of the ways to prevent lung disease are deviating from the polluted atmosphere. However, as fine dust increases and air pollution becomes more serious, aggressive lung health measures are needed to live a healthy 100 years old age. Sound necklace has been studied to increase the immunity of the lungs by activating the lungs through sound as a proactive and active measure. In this study, oxygen saturation, pulse rate measurement and MOS test were performed by stair climb with sound necklace. Through experimentation, we want to see if sound necklace is beneficial for the activation of lung function. Case to climb stairs without sound necklace showed more decreased oxygen saturation than case with sound necklace. And the MOS test, more than half said that breathing was smooth. Experimental results show that the sound necklace has been helpful in the activation of lung function.
