Abstract :
It is shown that wheezes can be objectively represented and efficiently compressed using parametric modelling. The ability to compress the lung sounds means that long term monitoring is made much easier and remote monitoring becomes feasible. Both of these aspects can also extend to the monitoring of several patients simultaneously
