Tags: Singapore Management University, Singapore, Wellness, Safety & Fitness
This technology uses in-ear microphones in commercial wireless earbuds to continuously monitor and classify breathing modes (oral or nasal) based on audio signals, offering advantages in sports, sleep quality, and health monitoring. By filtering and analyzing the breathing sound frequencies and using machine learning, the system recognizes specific breathing patterns like nasal inhalation or oral exhalation, even in noisy environments. Applications include fitness tracking, sports performance analysis, sleep monitoring, and biofeedback in meditation. This non-invasive, lightweight solution integrates easily into existing devices, providing real-time feedback and supporting respiratory health.
