Abstract: A method for contextually aware determination of respiration includes obtaining, by an electronic device, context information and selecting, by the electronic device, a set of sensor data associated with respiratory activity of a subject, based on the context information. The method further includes selecting, based on the selected set of sensor data, an algorithm from a plurality of algorithms for determining a respiration rate of the subject, and determining, by applying the selected algorithm to the selected set of sensor data associated with respiratory activity of the subject, the respiration rate for the subject.

Abstract: A method includes receiving sensor data associated with respiration of a user at a first electronic device. The method also includes extracting features specific to paradoxical vocal cord motion (PVCM) from the sensor data, the extracted features comprising a cough wetness level and a respiration phase difficulty level. The method also includes calculating a PVCM score based on the extracted features using a predetermined model, wherein the predetermined model allocates weights to the extracted features based on respective importance to PVCM determination. The method also includes presenting an indicator on a display of the first electronic device for use by the user or a medical provider, the indicator representing the PVCM score.

Abstract: A method includes receiving sensor data, including audio data, of a user at an electronic device. The method also includes identifying respiratory phases of the user's breathing based on the sensor data. The method further includes converting the audio data into image data and identifying an abnormal sound associated with the user's breathing based on the image data. In addition, the method includes determining a pulmonary condition of the user based on the abnormal sound and the identified respiratory phases.
