Pulmonary and fatigue researchProtocol review

Video respiratory rate monitoring for exertion and fatigue studies

Pair exertional tasks with visible respiratory and recovery measures for pulmonary, fatigue, and rehabilitation research.

Study measures

What the camera can measure

These outputs are designed for study comparison, rater review, and statistical analysis. They are not diagnostic claims.

Breathing motion proxy

chest, shoulder, and trunk periodic movement

Recovery interval

post-task posture and breathing-motion change over time

Exertional task time

walking or sit-to-stand task phases

Fatigue behavior flag

slowing, pauses, posture change, or early stop

Study setup

Build the task around your protocol

ConductVision works best when the task, camera setup, annotations, and export fields are defined before the first participant visit.

Task presets

  • six-minute walk style task
  • sit-to-stand exertion
  • paced breathing
  • post-activity recovery

Researcher annotations

  • oxygen saturation if collected separately
  • dyspnea score
  • rest interval
  • task stop reason

Export fields

  • breathing motion proxy
  • recovery timing
  • walking time
  • posture change
  • review flags

Camera setup

Full torso and face-visible framing when approved; wide walking view for exertional tasks.

What is established

Exertional walking, sit-to-stand, respiratory rate, dyspnea, and fatigue measures are used in pulmonary and fatigue research.

What ConductVision quantifies

ConductVision measures visible breathing-related motion, posture, task timing, and recovery behavior in synchronized video.

What still needs validation

Respiratory rate accuracy, fatigue interpretation, and clinical thresholds require comparison with approved reference measures.

Data export

Reviewable data for analysis teams

Exports are built for study notebooks, statistical analysis, and rater review. The video remains available for audit when the protocol allows it.

CSV task summary by participant, visit, and session
Frame-level landmark coordinates with confidence values
Event timestamps for starts, stops, repetitions, pauses, and task phases
JSON review files for overlays, researcher notes, and audit history
Evidence

Scientific context for the task family

These links point to the measurement areas researchers commonly use when validating a protocol.

Research-use measurement note

ConductVision outputs are research-use measurements unless a customer has completed their own clinical validation, regulatory review, and intended-use controls. The study team remains responsible for consent, privacy, camera calibration, rater review, and clinical interpretation.
