Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for monitoring respiration using surface temperature, humidity, air pressure, carbon dioxide gas sensors, pulse oximetry sensors and electromyography sensors, and/or acceleration sensors to obtain information related to respiration rate (RR), exhalation/inhalation strength, exhalation/inhalation volume, exhalation/inhalation acceleration, and/or exhalation/inhalation regularity.
Claims18
A device for monitoring one or more respiratory attributes of a user, comprising:
- a housing;
- a fastener on an outer surface of the housing, wherein the fastener is capable of attaching the housing to an oxygen mask;
- two or more sensors located within the housing,
- wherein the two or more sensors comprise a temperature sensor configured to detect a surface temperature of the user's skin covered by the oxygen mask when the oxygen mask is placed over the mouth of the user;
- one or more processors located within the housing, said one or more processors configured to execute machine executable code causing the one or more processors to:
- receive a set of data comprising two or more datasets output from the two or more sensors;
- perform an autocorrelation on each of the two or more datasets to determine autocorrelation results;
- compare the autocorrelation results with a potential respiratory attribute pattern to determine an average peak correlation for each dataset;
- select the dataset with the highest average peak correlation for further analysis;
- analyze the selected dataset to determine one or more respiratory attributes;
- detect one or more respiratory events based on the determined one or more respiratory attributes;
- and
- generate an output identifying the detected one or more respiratory events;
- and
- a digital display located within the housing, wherein the machine executable code further causes the one or more processors to display the output on the digital display.
