Breathing Detection: Towards a Miniaturized, Wearable, Battery-Operated Monitoring System

Corbishley, Phil, Rodriguez-Villegas, Esther·2008·IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering

Abstract

This paper analyzes the main challenges associated with noninvasive, continuous, wearable, and long-term breathing monitoring. The characteristics of an acoustic breathing signal from a miniature sensor are studied in the presence of sources of noise and interference artifacts that affect the signal. Based on these results, an algorithm has been devised to detect breathing. It is possible to implement the algorithm on a single integrated circuit, making it suitable for a miniature sensor device. The algorithm is tested in the presence of noise sources on five subjects and shows an average success rate of 91.3% (combined true positives and true negatives).

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Corbishley et al. developed a system to measure respiratory rate using a miniaturized wearable acoustic sensor (microphone).

    “Another example of ingenious design is the system developed by Corbishley et al. [24] to measure respiratory rate using a miniaturized wearable acoustic sensor (i.e. microphone).”
  • The authors also presented an algorithm for the detection of apneas based on the acoustic sensing technology.

    “The authors also presented an algorithm for the detection of apneas based on the above-described sensing technology.”
  • By developing techniques to filter out environmental noise and other artifacts, the authors achieved accuracy greater than 90% in the measurement of breathing rate.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
