Abstract
The subject technology provides a framework for estimating respiratory rates from audio data recordings. A multi-task learning network may be trained to output respiratory rates, breathing conditions, and/or noise conditions based on input audio data recordings. The audio data recordings may be generated using wearable audio devices with near-field microphones. The respiratory rates may be provided along with other workout information by a health application of an electronic device. Additional sensor data and/or health data may be used in combination with the audio data and/or the respiratory rates and/or breathing conditions for respiratory and/or other health monitoring by an electronic device.
