With an innovative character, FlashPTR – Flash Physiotherapy Test Respiratory is an application developed with the aim of assisting professionals in evaluating lung function and respiratory muscle strength in a practical, interactive, effective and efficient way. “We realized that devices have evolved from manual to digital, but each one has its own system.

The application is already registered, in the prototype phase. Jéssica says that she had the full support of the Technological Innovation Center (NTI) at Bahiana in all stages of creation, in the development of the software and brand, in the registration of the application, in the creation of the logo and who also received assistance from legal advice regarding doubts about the General Data Protection Law.
