Abstract
A respiratory monitor comprises: a first sensor () configured to generate a respiration-related motion monitoring signal () indicative of respiration related motion; a second sensor () configured to generate a sound monitoring signal () indicative of respiration-related sound; and a signals synthesizer () configured to synthesize a respiratory monitor signal () based on the respiration-related motion monitoring signal and the respiration-related sound monitoring signal. A sensor for use in respiratory monitoring comprises an accelerometer () and a magnetometer () together defining a unitary sensor () configured for attachment to a respiring subject () so as to move as a unit responsive to respiration related motion of the respiring subject.
