Smartphone acoustics enable non-invasive respiratory phase detection

Researchers have developed a novel framework for detecting respiratory phases using acoustic signals from standard smartphones. This approach employs a hybrid CNN-Transformer architecture to analyze spectral features and temporal patterns of breathing. The system achieved significant accuracy in detecting breathing cycles and exhalation phases, demonstrating its potential for real-time, privacy-preserving respiratory monitoring on mobile devices.
