Among the vital signs of human health, respiration is a key component of a person’s health as changes in respiration gives some of the first signs of the onset of patient decline. Frequent alterations to respiration parameters reflect compromised cardiopulmonary and neurological functions. Therefore, physicians want to frequently and accurately measure the respiration parameters such as partial pressure of O2 and CO2 in the blood, respiration rate, and peripheral blood oxygen saturation.
The research objective of this project is to establish theoretical and experimental foundations of developing a continuous vital respiration parameter sensing wearable that is a first-of-its-kind device composed of electronic and biosensor interacting with the human body to create a novel PtcO2 and SpO2 sensing platform.
