Get involved
Lend your expertise to the field
PRISM runs on volunteers. Whether you want to contribute to a working group, review draft guidance, or simply observe, there's a way in — and you always participate as an individual.
Ways to take part
Technical Contributor
Help draft test protocols, templates, discussion papers and consensus notes within a working group.
Reviewer
Review draft publications for technical soundness, clarity and neutrality before they're approved.
Industry Sponsor Contact
An individual point of contact who coordinates an organization's non-cash support — loaned equipment, lab access, calibration or publication help.
All support is disclosed, and never gives the sponsor editorial control over PRISM's conclusions. PRISM holds no funds.
Membership is open to individuals with relevant interest or expertise. Membership does not imply endorsement by any employer, institution, sponsor, or manufacturer.
Working group topics in scope
These are the technical topics in scope for PRISM. The Steering Board may charter a working group around any of them — each group prepares draft guidance, templates and discussion papers for review.
Bias-flow & secretion-movement metrics
How bias flow and secretion movement are characterized on the bench.
Airway clearance bench testing
Repeatable methods for testing airway clearance device performance.
CPAP & ventilation test systems
Common configurations and reporting for CPAP and ventilation testing.
Waveform analytics & reporting formats
Deriving and reporting pressure, flow and volume waveform metrics.
Test lung & airway simulator selection
How simulator choice affects results, and what to disclose.
Calibration, uncertainty & data quality
Calibration practice, uncertainty budgeting and data quality.
Publication & peer review
How PRISM drafts, reviews and publishes non-binding guidance.
Offer support
