Abstract
Systems for monitoring respiratory function of a person include a garment configured to be worn on a torso of the person. The garment includes one or more reference patterns positioned on the anterior torso of the person when the garment is worn. A camera is used to capture, at a first time, at least one image of the person immediately prior to inhalation, and immediately prior to exhalation, and to capture, at a second time, at least one image of the person immediately prior to inhalation, and immediately prior to exhalation. A computing device is used to transmit the images to a remote computing device for analysis.
