Breathing Rate
| ID | Unit | Available After | Range | Also Needs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
BR_BPM | breaths / minute | 30 seconds | 1.2 to 35 | - |
BR_BPM_STRICT | breaths / minute | 30 seconds | 6 to 35 | - |
Definition
Breathing Rate (Respiration Rate) corresponds to the number of times the user inhales and exhales, expressed as a rate per minute.
BR_BPM is the DeepAffex Cloud's estimate of the subject's Breathing Rate. It
is based on analyzing facial blood-flow data (TOI) and subject motion.
BR_BPM_STRICT is the DeepAffex Cloud's estimate of the subject's Breathing
Rate with a restricted output range - if the estimated Breathing Rate falls
outside the range specified in the table above, no value will be returned. It is
based on analyzing facial blood-flow data (TOI) and subject motion.
Background
The normal resting breathing rate for adults is between 12 and 25 breaths per minute.
A slower breathing rate may be caused by certain medications or suggest an underlying medical condition, for example, hypothyroidism, heart condition, electrolyte imbalance, etc.
A faster breathing rate could have many causes including walking fast or exercise, asthma, anxiety, infection, or cardiovascular condition. Subject may want to consult their doctor if their breathing rate falls outside of the normal range.
