Abstract
Breathing exercises form an essential part of the treatment for respiratory
illnesses such as cystic fibrosis. Ideally these exercises should be performed
on a daily basis. This paper presents an interactive system using a
wearable textile sensor to monitor breathing patterns. A graphical user
interface provides visual real-time feedback to patients. The aim of the
system is to encourage the correct performance of prescribed breathing
exercises by monitoring the rate and the depth of breathing. The system is
straightforward to use, low-cost and can be installed easily within a clinical
setting or in the home. Monitoring the user with a wearable sensor gives
real-time feedback to the user as they perform the exercise, allowing them
to perform the exercises independently. There is also potential for remote
monitoring where the user’s overall performance over time can be assessed
by a clinician.
