Abstract

[Abstract]: The correct operation of the body’s respiration system is of paramount importance for
the maintenance of human life. Respiration failure or interruption for periods exceeding a few minutes can be harmful and in some cases, fatal. The metal foil strain gauge has been used for decades within the engineering and
construction fields. This dissertation has researched a method of attaching a strain gauge to a flexible material to act as a sensing element for a respiration monitoring
system.

The project has succeeded in showing that the metal foil strain gauge can effectively register the respiration rate of patients, in a cost effective manner. By combining this
sensor assembly with a low cost processor, the project outcome of producing a respiration monitor and recording system has been realised.
