Method device and system for monitoring lung ventilation

Abstract

A method of monitoring lung ventilation of a subject is disclosed. The method comprises recording signals from a plurality of sensing location on the chest of the subject, at least a portion of the signals being indicative of a local motion of the chest at a respective sensing location. The method further comprises operating a data processing system to analyze the signals such as to determine a status of the ventilation, thereby to monitor the lung ventilation of the subject.

1 . A method comprising:
 receiving signals from a plurality of sensing locations on a chest of a subject, at least a portion of said signals being indicative of a local motion of said chest at a respective sensing location, and continuously monitoring ventilation and functional volume changes of the chest using data of the local motion of the chest.   
     
     
         2 . A method comprising:
 receiving signals from a plurality of sensing locations on a chest of a subject, at least a portion of said signals being indicative of a local motion of said chest at a respective sensing location, and continuously monitoring ventilation and heart function using data of the local motion of the chest.   
     
     
         3 . A method comprising:
 receiving signals from a plurality of sensing locations on a chest of a subject, at least a portion of said signals being indicative of a local motion of said chest at a respective sensing location,   receiving signals from an epigastric location of the subject,   and detecting an air leak to an esophagus of the subject.
