Prospects for the use of the respiratory rate pa-rameters in the assessment of the functional status of the organism

Human respiratory system is very sensitive to changes in the functional status of the human body related to the physical, emotional or mental stress, allowing adaptation to the current environmental conditions. Now the use of respiratory rhythm parameters in the problem of estimation of the functional status of the body is not well defined, but a promising area of research. An analysis of existing methods for detecting respiratory signal was conducted, which showed that the direct, indirect and remote sensing can be used for tasks of the human condition monitoring during daily activity. To test the hypothesis about the possibility of using time parameters of the respiratory cycle phases data in solving the problem of the rapid assessment of the psycho-emotional status of a person in the course of its everyday activities were implemented software performing the registration and processing of the respiratory signal. A statistically significant difference in the average ratio of the total respiratory cycle time to time of inhalation for people who are in a state of emotional activity or under the influence of mental stress was show. The experimental study confirmed that the analysis of the timing of the respiratory cycle phases allows to use this data to assess the functional status of the organism.
