The need to educate healthcare practitioners was identified after an extensive demand from several providers for Dr. Davidson to individually educate them on the proper testing technique, the understanding of the readings, the interpretation of the measurement values, and how to approach patient care from an interdisciplinary approach.
After 5.5 years of extensive research, literature reviews, and clinical use of the 3 measurement technologies; rhinomanometry, acoustic rhinometry, and PNIF, DAFNE Scoring System© was created by Dr. Karen Parker Davidson, RN; Vice President of GM Instruments and a university professor.
A recent systematic review further validates the DAFNE Scoring System© and the importance of incorporating it into daily clinical practice.
In a world of digital health technology, this patent pending user interface meets the global demand for better understanding of the nasal measurement technologies, the measurement data output, and how to collaborate with other healthcare providers for better patient outcomes.

Disclaimer: This website is not a sole source in determining patient healthcare outcomes and should not be exclusive without a physical exam, patient questionnaire, patient interview of symptoms, or additional diagnostics completed by a licensed healthcare provider. The website is for information and educational purposes to show how nasal airway measurements allow the HCP to objectively quantify the patency of the nasal away and its part in airflow limitations. It is not medical advice, but based on evidenced based medicine, nasal aerodynamic studies, and validated research over 20+ years using the noninvasive technology methods. The noninvasive, objective nasal measurement processes do not diagnosis a breathing disorder, but allow the HCP to screen and understand how the treatment options are helping for better results towards nasal breathing. Additional questions and educational assistance on the methods, processes for results, and the theory of nasal aerodynamics may be sent through our website query.
