Abstract
A respiratory effort sensing apparatus () includes a flexible belt member () having a first buckle member (A) and a second buckle member (B), and a wearable respiratory monitoring recording device (). The monitoring device includes: (i) a processing apparatus () structured to be selectively operable in a sleep mode and an active mode, and (ii) buckle detection circuitry () structured to detect that both buckle members are operatively coupled to the respiratory monitoring recording device and in response thereto generate a buckle detection signal. The processing apparatus is structured to, in response to receiving the buckle detection signal, automatically: (a) move from the sleep mode to the active mode, and (b) generate data indicative of a respiratory effort of a patient over time based on an effort-based signal generated by the respiratory effort sensing apparatus in response to changes in volume of a body part of the patient.
