Small-Scale Perception in Medical Body Area Networks.

Objective: Non-invasive respiration detection methods are of great value to healthcare applications and disease diagnosis with their advantages of minimizing the patient's physical burden and lessen the requirement of active cooperation of the subject. This method avoids extra preparations, reduces environmental constraints, and strengthens the possibility of real-time respiratory detection. Furthermore, identifying abnormal breathing patterns in real-time is necessary for the diagnosis and monitoring of possible respiratory disorders.
