Magneto-LC Resonance Technology for Real-Time Respiratory Motion Monitoring

Competitive Advatanges: Real-time respiratory monitoring, More accurate and faster than existing methods, Monitors breathing patterns and period rhythm, Real-time motion monitoring. A non-contact respiratory monitoring system, method, and sensor are disclosed. The system includes a magnet and a sensor including a coil made of magnetic microwire. The magnetic microwire sensor coil is configured to detect motion of the magnet relative to the magnetic sensor coil. An alternating voltage across the magnetic microwire sensor coil is modified by a change in impedance of the magneticOur researchers have invented a novel respiratory monitoring device, based on a microwire coil magneto-LC resonance sensor. This sensor detects the varying position of a small magnetic field source for real-time, non-contact respiratory monitoring of a patient. When compared to existing technologies on the market, this technology has been shown to be more accurate, faster and cost-effective. Implementation of this technology will allow for easy diagnosis and monitoring of respiratory related illnesses in human patients.
