Summary
This study is testing a simple, non-invasive device that uses motion sensors on the chest and belly to measure breathing effort in children. The goal is to see if it can detect breathing problems early and help doctors decide when to start, increase, or stop breathing support. The study will include 20 children aged 28 days to 17 years, both with and without breathing distress.
