The state-of-the-art approach for assessing peripheral ROIs involves bronchoscopy.

In addition, the advent of new care models, including virtual and remote delivery of cardiac rehabilitation services, has expanded the ways that cardiac rehabilitation programs can reach patients. In this scientific statement, we update the scientific basis of the core components of patient assessment, nutritional counseling, weight management and body composition, cardiovascular disease and risk factor management, psychosocial management, aerobic exercise training, strength training, and physical activity counseling.

This non-contact, or , technology allows continuous respiratory monitoring without attaching probes to the patient. We have noticed a strikingly similar morphology between the touchless flow signal (NCM) and the flow signal derived using the chest and abdomen respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) bands.
