Impact of non‐contact respiratory rate monitoring in infants: Effects of posture, movement, and sensor placement

This study demonstrated that the accuracy of non-contact respiratory rate estimation using piezoelectric sensors is highly impacted by body position, movement, and sensor placement. Optimizing the algorithm to systematically account for these variables is essential for improving the robustness and accuracy of non-contact vital sign monitoring.
