Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Physiological Monitoring
  • Sensor Technology

Background:

  • Breathing pattern monitoring is vital for sleep studies, stress analysis, and biofeedback.
  • Existing methods like nasal thermistors offer limited prolonged monitoring capabilities.
  • Some diagnostics require monitoring of dominant nostril changes, not just airflow.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design a differential thermistor-based breathing sensor for prolonged, minimally intrusive monitoring.
  • To enable accurate data acquisition and signal processing for breathing pattern analysis.
  • To facilitate long-term data storage and circadian breathing rhythm evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a differential thermistor design for enhanced sensitivity and reduced errors.
