Continuous monitoring of respiratory activity is desirable in many clinical applications to detect respiratory events. Non-contact monitoring of respiration can be achieved with near- and far-infrared spectrum cameras. However, current…
Respiratory rate (RR) is a clinical metric used to assess overall health and physical fitness. An individual's RR can change from their baseline due to chronic illness symptoms (e.g., asthma, congestive heart failure), acute illness (e.g.,…
Vital signs, such as heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), respiratory rate (RR), are important indicators for a person's health. Vital signs are traditionally measured with contact sensors, and may be inconvenient and cause…
