enrich_BP

This algorithm enriches RIP signals and accompanying breath onsets into breath-by-breath breathing pattern (depth, coordination, and more)

Dual-band wearables (such as respiratory inductance plethysmography; RIP) can provide various information on breathing pattern beyond simply frequency and depth. This algorithm receives one or two RIP signals and pre-processed breath onsets (inspiration and expiration) and outputs a breath-by-breath timetable with new metrics: breathing frequency, depth, sighing events, and, in the case of dual-RIP, % ribcage contribution, and thoraco-abdominal coordination (phase angle).
