DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this project is to develop an automated respiratory rate monitor that is economical, easy to use, accurate and widely accessible. The motivation for this project is well documented findings that respiratory rates are not accurately measured in many medical settings, such as, emergency rooms and general hospital wards. The respiratory rate is a core vital sign that is used in the evaluation of patients for diagnosis and for monitoring for change or deterioration in condition. Inaccurate assessment can lead to medical errors and could be expected to increase morbidity and mortality amongst patients. To improve the health care of all patients there has been a call in the medical literature for the development of an automated respiratory rate monitor that can be integrated with the automated measures of blood pressure, heart rate, temperature and oxygenation that is currently routinely utilized. This project will fulfill that need through the development of an innovative and robust approach to the measurement of respiratory rate. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project will result in the development of an economical method to enhance the medically ubiquitous pulse oximeter to serve as an automatic and accurate respiratory rate monitor. The routine measurement of this important vital sign has been found to be inaccurate in numerous medical settings including emergency rooms and hospital wards and has led to a call in the medical literature for the development of an automated respiratory rate monitor. The product developed by this project will answer that call and result in the improvement of patient monitoring and evaluation, which should lead to a decrease in medical errors and in morbidity and mortality.

描述（由申请人提供）：本项目的目标是开发一种经济、易于使用、准确和广泛使用的自动呼吸率监测仪。该项目的动机是有据可查的发现，即在许多医疗环境中，例如急诊室和综合医院病房，呼吸率无法准确测量。呼吸频率是一个核心的生命体征，用于评估患者的诊断和监测病情的变化或恶化。不准确的评估可能导致医疗错误，并可能增加患者的发病率和死亡率。为了改善所有患者的健康护理，在医学文献中已经呼吁开发一种自动呼吸率监测器，其可以与当前常规使用的血压、心率、温度和氧合的自动测量相结合。该项目将通过开发一种创新和强大的呼吸率测量方法来满足这一需求。 公共卫生关系：该项目将开发一种经济的方法，以增强医学上普遍使用的脉搏血氧仪，使其成为一种自动和准确的呼吸率监测仪。在包括急诊室和医院病房在内的许多医疗环境中，已经发现这种重要生命体征的常规测量是不准确的，并且已经导致医学文献中要求开发自动呼吸率监测器。该项目开发的产品将响应这一呼吁，改善对病人的监测和评估，从而减少医疗差错以及发病率和死亡率。
