Noncontact Respiratory Monitoring Using Depth Sensing Cameras: A Review of Current Literature

Sensors, 2021
There is considerable interest in the noncontact monitoring of patients as it allows for reduced restriction of patients, the avoidance of single-use consumables and less patient–clinician contact and hence the reduction of the spread of disease.

Validation of Walking Speed Estimation from Trunk Mounted Accelerometers for a Range of Walking Speeds

Sensors, 2021
Walking speed is a strong indicator of the health status of older people and patients. Using algorithms, the walking speed can be estimated from wearable accelerometers, which enables minimally obtrusive (longitudinal) monitoring.
