  • Respiration Monitoring Sensor for a Laryngeal Pacemaker
    Publication number: 20240042200
    Abstract: A laryngeal pacemaker is configured for external placement on skin of a patient to produce respiration stimulation signals. An implantable stimulation electrode delivers the respiration stimulation signals to adjacent target neural tissue for vocal fold abduction during respiration of the recipient patient. A triaxial accelerometer produces a body motion signal reflecting energy expenditure of the recipient patient. A respiration sensor includes a flexible skin-transferrable printed tattoo electrode having a tetrapolar configuration for impedance pneumography measurement to produce a sensed respiration signal for the laryngeal pacemaker. The respiration sensor is configured for transfer and release by guided placement from a sensor applicator to the skin at the angulus sterni of the recipient patient.
