Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org is interested since a longer period in respiration rate. He used a Garmin Fenix 6 for measuring respiration rate. But it was only accurate at 12 breath per minutes, if he calculated the breath manually.
We found a device from Adinstruments which Tracking Respiratory Rate – Pneumotrace in PowerLab:
Adinstruments builds high-quality devices for scientific studies which are very expensive.
But what about Peter H. Charlton’s Respiratory Rate Estimation Matlab toolbox?

But also what is with the «The Respiratory Rate Estimation project» is a GITHUB project:

Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org did not yet study the liteature about it. Or better, he was looking for high-quality scientic papers which use respiratory rate estimation, but he did not find those papers to this date.
So is respiratory rate estimation accurate enough for scientific studies about respiration to publish papers in Nature with it? Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org does not want to learn from Peter Charlton on YouTube about this. He want to read about it in a peer reviewed high-quality scientic papers. And he did not study these to this date.
Nature papers about respiratory rate as for instance this one :
«Wearable radio-frequency sensing of respiratory rate, respiratory volume, and heart rate»
which was publised Published: 28 July 2020:

The device which was used in the Nature paper looks like this:
