This paper present the characterisation of piezoresistive fabric sensors for measuring breathing patterns. While it has been shown that these sensors can be used to measure breathing rate with good reliability, breathing volume measurements are more complex due to drift and non-linear behaviour. Breathing patterns are extremely useful for a number of applications related to personal health and exercise monitoring. For example, breathing exercises form an essential part in the treatment of respiratory illnesses while in sports, breathing technique can help to improve the performance of athletes. |
