Real Time Respiration Rate Measurement Using Temperature Sensor

Abstract

Respiration rate is a vital indicator of an individual's health, and therefore it is monitored when performing clinical evaluations. There are many different approaches for respiration monitoring, but usually, they can be classed as contact or non-contact. Respiration Rate is one of the important signs that need regular monitoring among unhealthy individuals. There are a variety of medical devices developed to observe human health condition among them respiration rate monitor is one. The Respiration rate monitor is a device that measures the individual’s respiration rate non-invasively. The objective of the planned work is to design and develop an affordable Respiration rate monitor for clinical applications. The respiration rate of the patient is measured with the assistance of temperature sensor that measures even the slightest change in the temperature while an individual is inhaling or exhalation. And according to the reading obtained the alert message will be sent to the patient’s mobile phone via GSM module that is connected to the device.
