At-home validation of a non-contact, radar-based breathing monitor for long-term care of patients with respiratory diseases: A proof-of-concept study.

ABSTRACT: Long-term monitoring of respiratory rate (RR) is an important component in the management of chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs). Specifically, predicting acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is of significant scientific and clinical interest. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term validity of a novel contactless sleep monitor (CSM) in the home environment of CRD patients receiving ventilatory support. Additionally, we assessed patient acceptance, device usability, and RR fluctuations associated with AECOPD to establish a robust foundation for future research.In this prospective proof-of-concept study, nineteen patients requiring non-invasive ventilation (NIV) were provided with the CSM in their home environment for six months and seven patients requiri
