Summary:Provided are concepts for generating an indicator of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in a subject. In particular, an elasticated bag suitable for inflation is utilised, such that a change in a measurable characteristic of the elasticated during exhalation of the subject is detected.
