Device for Monitoring Respiratory Movements
First Claim
1. A device for monitoring breathing of a wearer, the device comprising:
- a box for wearing in the wearer'"'"'s garment, the box being free of any means for retaining the box against the wearer'"'"'s body;
an electronic circuit located into said box, wherein the circuit comprises;
at least one accelerometer arranged into said box in a manner to sense a component, or variation of the component, of a gravity acceleration vector due to angular movements of the box, a micro controller for detecting said component, or variation, sensed by the accelerometer, and alarm means connected to the microcontroller in a manner that the alarm means activates at least when the micro controller does not detect any component or variation in the component, of the gravity vector sensed by the accelerometer during a predetermined period of time.
