Abstract
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, representing the third cause of death globally. Devices that monitor pulmonary function used to diagnose and track these conditions alter the patients’ regular breathing patterns and are typically uncomfortable. Indeed, there is currently no approved clinical method for monitoring of pulmonary flow and volume without highly obtrusive instrumentation like a mask. In this context, Impedance Pneumography (IP) is a promising method as a non-invasive alternative for continuous breathing monitoring. In literature, studies report its linear relation with respiratory volume and its capability to obtain typical respiratory parameters.
This thesis aims to validate the IP method for continuous monitoring of pulmonary activity and function through the extraction of respiratory parameters useful in ambulatory and clinical scenarios
