RT Journal Article T1 Design and implementation of a smart sensor for respiratory rate monitoring A1 Aponte Luis, Juan A1 Roa Romero, Laura M.

This sensor is aimed at overcoming the drawbacks of other systems currently available in market, namely, devices that are costly, uncomfortable, difficult-to-install, provide low detection sensitivity, and little-to-null patient-to-patient calibration. The device is based on capacitive sensing by means of an LC oscillator. Experimental results show that the sensor meets the necessary requirements, making feasible the proposed monitoring system with the technology used.
