Contactless Monitoring of Respiration

Breathing is an important aspect of life. To monitor breathing rate clinically is equally important. To check whether the condition of the patient is deteriorating one has to asses the breathing rate. In this study Contactless modality of respiration is discussed. The Laser Doppler Vibrometer and Antenna was used for this purpose. The test was performed on 4 healthy subjects and one phantom simulator to verify the system. The efficiency and results of both modalities have been discussed. The graphical User Interface is also designed for the easiness of clinicians and students to monitor the breathing signal in real time and can save the data from the simulations.
