Both available for around 10’000 USD? We found from Pluxbiosignals in Lisbon, Portugal the the inductive respiration sensor for 750 USD:
There is also a cheaper respiratory belt available from Pluxbiosignals. But will the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich accept this device?
The inductive respiration sensor costs 750 USD. We found on Aliexpress a very sensitive sleep tracker sensor belt, which can also monitor respiration rate for about 100 USD. We found also a sensor belt on Aliexpresss or Alibaba, a very sensitive sensor belt which looks very similar to the inductive respiration belt from pluxbiosignals for around 100 USD. The 100 USD sensor belt is one of our favorite respiration sensor belt, since it is affordable and highly sensitive.
Adinstruments LabChart software for around 8000 USD for respiratory rate peak detektion measurement for our own little private project? Is this worth the money?
Biosignals Plux offers a software add on for respiration rate for 400 USD:
But can t we find this add-on not also somewhere as a Python add-on? We only need additionally a 16 bit A/D converter. We have discussed this topic previously in this journal. Respiration sensors are sensitive, and building this setup takes time. But will How To Electronics in Canada do it for us? We don t believe this. What rather will happen, that someone copies our journal here, rewrites it, and sells it as his own project. We will then review the copy in our own journal, and discuss about the copy in our journal. Eventually a combination of sensor belt with peak detection in combination with respiratory rate estimation could be more effective for our purpose.
The Adinstruments support has offered us the Chart software which can record data from Adinstruments channel recoders to .csv values. The serial number of the channel recorder is required to get the software from Adinstruments.
