Abstract: Proposed are concepts for monitoring abnormal respiratory events of a subject which leverage data from a sensor system. Proposed concepts may employ data acquisition from the sensor system at two different frequencies. For instance, a first, lower frequency may be used to acquire data from which an abnormal respiratory event (such as a cough or wheeze) of the subject may be detected. In response to detecting an abnormal respiratory event, a second, higher frequency may be used to acquire data to facilitate more detailed analysis and/or monitoring of the subject's respiration. In this way, low frequency data acquisition, which may be less accurate but consume less power, may be used to firstly detect an abnormal respiratory event. Once an abnormal respiratory event detected, data acquisition may be switched to a higher frequency, so as to obtain more detailed (e.g. higher resolution) information about the respiration.
