Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Investigational Device Arm
Once consented for the study, participants will undergo testing with the investigational device for a one hour period. Testing will entail the participant wearing an EKG monitor, a respiratory rate monitor, a pulse oximeter, and being positioned next to the investigational device. The investigational device is contactless and captures chest movement of participants which allows it to estimate real time heart rate and respiratory rate. Additional data collected with the EKG monitor, respiratory rate monitor, and the pulse oximeter will be used to validate the vital sign data collected by the investigational device. After data collection is complete, participant involvement will then be over. Participants will have the option to return on a later date for additional testing (up to a maximum of three sessions total), within the six month window of the study. Participants will continue their standard of care therapies for their respiratory condition.
