Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel approach for respiratory monitoring through the direct measurement of oral cavity pressure. To measure the oral cavity pressure, a pressure sensor is placed inside the oral cavity. The intraorally obtained pressure signals are analyzed in the time-domain and validated against the conventional respiration monitoring belt (reference measurement). Tests have been performed on four subjects (four tests on each subject) in stationary and non-stationary conditions to evaluate the usage of the system in real life. Measurement from the proposed system shows that our approach can monitor the respiration rate with an accuracy of 99% when compared to the reference measurement. Moreover, the system can effectively track the respiration pattern and can detect breathing events independent of breathing routes, i.e., the nasal and oral. It has the minimum susceptibility to motion artifacts. Therefore, it has potential to be used as a wearable monitoring system for day to day life.
