Background |
Breathing frequency is rarely measured during a field walking test since the current monitoring system using a face mask is cumbersome for older adults. For effective clinical application, we aimed to validate the new respiratory monitor using wearable strain sensors during a 6-min walk test (6MWT) in young adults and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Methods |
The study included young adults and patients with stable COPD voluntarily recruited from three hospitals. Breathing frequency during 6MWT were measured by the strain sensor and a nasal capnometer. Total breathing frequencies were measured by the capnometer. The Bland–Altman method was used to estimate the mean limit of agreement for breathing frequency.
Results |
A total of 23 young adults (age = 23.1 ± 3.7, mean ± SD) and 50 patients with COPD (age = 75.2 ± 7.2, %FEV1 = 59.1 ± 19.7) were analyzed. During the entire test period, the total breathing frequencies were measured based on an average of 252 ± 46 breaths, and the total breathing frequency was higher in patients with COPD than in young adults (mean difference = −3.349, p < 0.0013). The mean difference in breathing frequency between the strain sensors and capnometer was −0.28 (95%CI: 0.75 to 0.20), and the limit of agreement ranged from −4.1 to 3.6. The CI of the limit of agreement included the limit of equivalence (4 counts/min).
Conclusions |
The novel respiratory monitor with wearable sensors achieved the target accuracy in both young adults and patients with COPD in the 6MWT.

• | We examined a novel prototype for monitoring breathing frequency during the 6MWT. |
• | The system met the target accuracy in both young adults and patients with COPD. |
• | Differences between the strain sensors and capnometer were small. |
• | This system may be helpful for evaluating respiratory rate during the 6MWT. |
