Abstract
A device and method for determining and/or monitoring the respiratory effort of a subject are presented. The device comprises a receiving unit for receiving a posture signal of the subject, a breathing signal of the subject, and an electromyography signal of the subject; and a processing unit for determining an electromyography signal based on the posture signal and the breathing signal and for deriving the respiratory effort based on the determined electromyography signal.
Claims15
Device for determining and/or monitoring the respiratory effort of a subject, comprising:
- a receiving unit for receiving a posture signal of the subject, a breathing signal of the subject, and an electromyography signal of the subject;
- and
- a processing unit for determining the electromyography signal based on the received posture signal and the received breathing signal and for deriving the respiratory effort based on the determined electromyography signal.
Electromyography patch for determining and/or monitoring the respiratory effort of a subject, comprising:
- a first electrode and a second electrode, the first
- electrode and the second electrode coupled to the electromyography patch and adapted for contacting the skin of the subject;
- and
- at least one accelerometer sensor, wherein
- a distance between the first electrode and the second electrode corresponds to a distance between a right parasternal location of the subject and a left parasternal location of the subject.
Method for determining and/or monitoring the respiratory effort of a subject, comprising:
- receiving a posture signal of the subject, a breathing signal of the subject, and an electromyography signal of the subject;
- determining the electromyography signal based on the posture signal and the breathing signal;
- and
- deriving the respiratory effort based on the determined electromyography signal
