Abstract
A wearable electronic device for detecting diver respiration comprises a transducer element and a processing element. The transducer element is configured to receive sonar waves and communicate a corresponding receiver electronic signal. The processing element is configured or programmed to receive the receiver electronic signal, identify that a breath of the diver has occurred from the receive electronic signal, determine a respiration rate of the diver based on a plurality of breaths, and present an indication of the respiration rate to the diver.
