Respiration as one of the important physiological parameters of the human body can reflect the health condition of the human body. Respiratory monitoring is required in disease prevention and detection, exercise, breath training, and the like. The existing respiration monitoring method mainly comprises the following four steps: (1) The flow type respiration monitoring mask worn in the mouth and the nose has the defects of inconvenient portability and unsuitability for long-term wearing; (2) The gyroscope or the planar film pressure sensor is placed in a planar environment such as a bed and the like when in use, and the breath is monitored through the vibration generated by the breath, so that the gyroscope or the planar film pressure sensor has the defects of incapability of wearing and long-time use; (3) The resistance type strain sensor is placed on the chest or the abdomen when in use, and can be worn for a long time by monitoring respiration through measuring tensile strain generated by the respiration, but the linearity of the resistance type strain sensor is poor, and the resolution ratio under small strain is low, so the signal-to-noise ratio is low; (4) The inductive strain sensor is placed on the chest or the abdomen during use, respiration is monitored by measuring tensile strain generated by respiration, the inductive strain sensor is simple to prepare and comfortable to wear, but electronic monitoring equipment of the inductive strain sensor is large, the respiratory signal-to-noise ratio is low, the requirement on a use scene is high, and the inductive strain sensor cannot be worn and used for a long time. Therefore, the intelligent respiration monitor which has high signal-to-noise ratio and can be worn for a long time has good application prospect.
