An Optical Fibre-Based Sensor for Respiratory Monitoring

An Optical Fibre-Based Sensor for Respiratory Monitoring

In this paper, a textile-based respiratory sensing system is presented. Highly flexible polymeric optical fibres (POFs) that react to applied pressure were integrated into a carrier fabric to form a wearable sensing system. After the evaluation of different optical fibres, different setups were comp...
