Respiration (RESP)

Wearable Sensing’s DSI RESP is a stretch sensor combined with an elastic strap that have a wired connection directly to the DSI-24 or DSI Flex system. The sensor is placed on the chest, and used to detect abdominal expansion and contraction.

*Actual RESP data collected from DSI-24

Introduction

RESP, or Respiration, is a technique for recording the relative amount of expansion that occurs during respiration (breathing). A stretch sensor is placed along the chest and detects abdominal expansion and contraction, and then outputs the respiration waveform. 

DSI Electrode Types

Stretch Sensor

The DSI RESP is equipped with a stretch sensor so that when it is placed on the chest, it can detect the small changes in chest circumference that occur when a person inhales and exhales

Stretch Sensor

Applications

Compatible DSI Systems

DSI Flex

The DSI Flex has 7 customizable sensor locations, which can be configured in any variation of ExG, GSR, RESP, and TEMP

DSI-24​

The DSI-24 has 3 auxiliary inputs on the headset, allowing seamless integration of wired ExG, GSR, RESP, and TEMP
