Hello, I am new here and looking to get some help. Thank you in advance.
I have no electrical engineering background. I am a medical doctor doing clinical research, and we are working on a new device similar to a ventilator.
My question is specific to sensors. We need a sensor that can detect movement of chest wall. As the chest expands and contracts, we can sometimes see the movement. However, in an abnormal or pathological condition, this movement can be severely depressed. My question is what type of sensor should be used to 1)detect this movement, and 2)be able to record a count of the number of movements?
Again, thank you in advance.
