Advances in wireless technologies, low‐power electronics, the internet of things, and in the
domain of connected health are driving innovations in wearable medical devices at a …

Respiratory failure can be difficult to predict. It can develop into a life-threatening condition in
just a few minutes, or it can build up more slowly. Thus continuous monitoring of respiratory …

Wearable technologies will play an important role in advancing precision medicine by
enabling measurement of clinically-relevant parameters describing an individual's health …

Thoracic impedance is modulated by events within the respiratory cycle, which represents a
source of “noise” in impedance cardiography. Respiration itself, however, is a physiological …

Two parameters that a breathing status monitor should provide include tidal volume (VT)
and respiration rate (RR). Recently, we implemented an optical monitoring approach that …

Respiratory behaviors provide useful measures of lung health. The current methods have
limited capabilities of continuous characterization of respiratory behaviors, often required to …

There is a lack of noninvasive pulmonary function measurement techniques suitable for
continuous long-term measurement of tidal breathing in mobile subjects, although tidal …

Bioimpedance is an unobtrusive noninvasive technique to measure respiration and has a
linear relation with volume during normal breathing. The objective of this paper was to …

The purpose of this study is to comparatively evaluate the performance of different wearable
systems based on indirect breathing monitoring in terms of susceptibility to motion artifacts …

The needs for light-weight and soft smart clothing in homecare have been rising since the
past decade. Many smart textile sensors have been developed and applied to automatic …
