<p>A respiratory analysis system (101) for monitoring a respiratory variable for a patient (1). The system comprises a sensor array (102) for accommodating a patient (1) to be in contact therewith and a processing means (104). The array (102) has a plurality of independent like sensors (5) for measuring respiratory movement at different locations on the patient (1) to generate a set of independent respiratory movement signals. The processing means (104) receives and processes the movement signals to derive a classification of individual breaths using, for each breath, the respective phase and/or amplitude of each movement sensor signal within the set for that breath.</p> |
