Development and Performance Evaluation of Wearable Respiratory Self-Training System Using Patch Type Magnetic Sensor.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Respiratory training system that can be used by patients themselves was developed with a micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS)-based patch-type magnetic sensor. We conducted a basic function test and clinical usability evaluation to determine the system's clinical applicability.

Methods

The system is designed with a sensor attached to the patient's chest and a magnet on the back to monitor the patient's respiration by measuring changes in magnetic intensity related to respiratory movements of the thoracic surface. The system comprises a MEMS-based patch-type magnetic sensor capable of wireless communication and being applied to measurement magnets and mobile applications. System performance was evaluated by the level of systemic noise, the precision of the sensor in
