Non-contact (touchless) monitoring of respiratory rate in a challenging anesthesia setting using a depth camera

J Clin Monit ComputPublished Method comparison study

Authors' conclusion

We have demonstrated the ability to continuously track respiratory rate during challenging conditions within an anesthesia setting using our non-contact, touchless, monitoring technology.
