Abstract
A textile-based breath-sensing system and the testing results with different postures are described. Two electrodes are placed on a belt, loosely buckled for user comfort, to charge and discharge a capacitor modeled off human movement of breathing. For most conditions of daily activities, the system has demonstrated capable of providing accurate measurement of respiratory rates.
