Abstract :
A textile-based breath-sensing belt is presented. Four textile-based, clip type tension sensors, switching at different tension, are installed on a belt such that four-stage digitized pneumograph can be generated, from which both the breath rate and amplitude of the wearer can be estimated. The belt is washable, low-cost, easy and comfortable to wear, and suitable for healthcare, sports, interactive games, breath therapy.
