Abstract: A non-invasive method and system is provided for determining an internal component of respiratory effort of a subject in a respiratory study. Both a thoracic signal (T) and an abdomen signal (A) are obtained, which are indicators of a thoracic component and an abdominal component of the respiratory effort, respectively. A first parameter of a respiratory model is determined from the obtained thoracic signal (T) and the abdomen signal (A). The first parameter is an estimated parameter of the respiratory model that is not directly measured during the study. The internal component of the respiratory effort is determined based at least on the determined first parameter of the respiratory model. The first model parameter is determined based on the thorax signal (T) and the obtained abdomen signal (A) without an invasive measurement.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are provided for determining a respiratory flow, ventilation, and/or endotypes from Respiratory Inductance Plethysmography (RIP) signals. The method includes receiving data of a thoracic signal of a first RIP belt arranged proximate with a thorax of a subject, receiving data of an abdomen signal of a second RIP belt, and determining a respiratory flow of the subject based on the data of the thoracic signal and the data of the abdomen signal. Determining the respiratory flow includes two or more calibrations, including performing a first calibration by applying a first calibration coefficient that relates an amplitude of a differential change in the thoracic signal to an amplitude of a differential change in the abdomen signal to obtain a determined respiratory flow, and performing a second calibration on the determined respiratory flow that corrects for a non-linearity in the determined respiratory flow.

Abstract: A non-invasive method and system are provided for determining a sleep stage of a subject. The method includes obtaining one or more respiratory signals, the one or more respiratory signals being an indicator of a respiratory activity of the subject, extracting features from the one or more respiratory signals, and determining a sleep stage of the subject based on the extracted features.
