Breath and heart rate, highly used during the recent Covid emergency, are among the first vital parameters of clinical interest. They can provide lots of information about a person's state of health. Their continuous monitoring will be a sector of great interest in the next decades by companies operating in various fields, mostly in healthcare (home monitoring, elderly patients, or for sleep analysis).
