The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe form of hypoxemic respiratory failure with in-hospital mortality of 35-46%. High mortality is thought to be related in part to challenges in making a prompt diagnosis, which may in…
Multiple-breath-washout (MBW) measurements are regarded as a sensitive technique which can reflect the ventilation inhomogeneity of respiratory airways. Typically nitrogen is used as the tracer gas and is washed out by pure oxygen in…
Wi-Fi sensing offers a promising technique for contactless human respiration monitoring. A key challenge, however, is the blind spot problem caused by random phase offsets that corrupt the complementarity of respiratory signals. To address…
With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, wireless access points (AP) and internet of things (IoT) devices have been widely deployed in our surroundings. Various types of wireless signals (e.g., Wi-Fi, LoRa, LTE) are…
In recent years, electronic nose devices have become a popular approach for identifying respiratory disorders including lung cancer. Traditional e-nose systems have had very consistent principles and patterns of sensor responses. After…
Sleep apnea syndrome requires early diagnosis because this syndrome can lead to a variety of health problems. If sleep apnea events can be detected in a noncontact manner using radar, we can then avoid the discomfort caused by the…
