Respiratory Rate Validation Study

The Perin Health Patch is a non-invasive, chest-worn wearable device designed to continuously monitor physiological signals, including respiratory rate and other health metrics. In this study, the device will be evaluated for its ability to accurately measure respiratory rate during controlled breathing exercises in healthy adult volunteers. The respiratory rate values recorded by the Perin Health Patch will be compared against respiratory rate measurements obtained via manually scored end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) waveforms from a GE Datex-Ohmeda monitor, following Element Laboratory protocols aligned with clinical validation standards. The intervention in this study is limited to the application and use of the device for data collection during controlled respiratory rate conditions, where participants perform paced breathing exercises at various rates (5-50 breaths per minute) using a breathing app while positioned sitting or lying supine.
