Sticky sensor could predict lung trouble after surgery

This study tested whether a small motion sensor taped to the chest can accurately measure the volume of air a person breathes in. 30 healthy adults took deep and shallow breaths through a standard breathing tube while the sensor recorded their chest movements. The goal was to see if the sensor data could be used to create a software tool that estimates breathing volume without a mouthpiece, which could help monitor patients after surgery and prevent lung complications.
