Summary
This study tested whether a small motion sensor taped to the chest can measure the volume of air a person breathes in. Thirty healthy adults took 18 breaths of different depths through a tube while the sensor recorded chest movement. The goal was to see if the sensor data could be used to create a program that estimates breath volume without a mouthpiece. This could help monitor patients after surgery to prevent lung complications.
