Resting Respiratory Rate

the resting respiratory rate is the number of breaths taken per minute while the body is in a relaxed state it is an important indicator of respiratory health and overall physical condition monitoring this parameter helps assess how efficiently the lungs and respiratory system are functioning during periods of rest how is it calculated? the resting respiratory rate is calculated using data from measurements performed in a resting state over the past 2 weeks when is the first reading available? to obtain an initial reading, users must complete at least two face scans each week for two consecutive weeks the first result will be available after the second face scan in the second week example timeline with face scans week 1 monday & wednesday no resting respiratory rate available yet week 2 tuesday & thursday resting respiratory rate available on friday accuracy we kindly refer to the accuracy assessment of respiratory rate docid\ elud zfpefuadvrdf4op as an individual biomarker how can it be used? the resting respiratory rate is a valuable baseline metric for understanding an individual's respiratory function and overall health it can be used to monitor respiratory health an abnormally high or low respiratory rate may indicate underlying respiratory conditions such as asthma, sleep apnea, or lung disease detect signs of stress similar to heart rate, respiratory rate can increase in response to stress or anxiety an elevated resting respiratory rate may reflect heightened mental or physical stress levels track fitness improvements as cardiovascular and respiratory fitness improve, a person’s respiratory rate at rest tends to decrease comparing the user's respiratory rate to their baseline or population averages can provide insights into their health state high respiratory rates at rest may indicate conditions requiring further evaluation, while lower rates may suggest improved fitness or relaxation personalized recommendations can be made based on this data, helping users manage their respiratory health through breathing exercises or relaxation techniques these kinds of analyses are also performed by intelliprove's insights algorithms and available as interpretations docid\ yj8wneqgt2x2amwnf1 kz interpreting results resting respiratory rate is returned as an integer in breaths per minute and can be requested as a widgets docid\ oorapckooi6 89xrafduv or via the rest api docid\ biupvixvhltbukklr2ati definitions name unit range programmatic name health profile resting respiratory rate breaths per minute \[brpm] 4 48 resting respiratory rate physical health values range definition example color indicator example user text 4 12 very low green your resting respiratory rate is very low 13 16 low green your resting respiratory rate is low 17 – 20 average yellow your resting respiratory rate is within the average range 21 – 30 above average yellow your resting respiratory rate is higher than average 31 – 48 increased red your resting respiratory rate is rather high, which may indicate stress or respiratory concerns the table above shows value the possible values for the health insight meaning what does the value mean zone we distinguish three zones, useful – for example when creating a widget to clarify the feel towars the user green = optimal to normal yellow = normal to average red = outside the typical range; may require attention example user text an example of what could be communicated to the user in case this value is measured scientific papers nilsson l, johansson a, kalman s monitoring of respiratory rate in postoperative care using a new photoplethysmographic technique j clin monit comput 2000;16(4) 309 15 cretikos ma, bellomo r, hillman k, chen j, finfer s, flabouris a 2008 respiratory rate the neglected vital sign med j aust 188(11) 657–659 badawy j, nguyen ok, clark c, halm ea, makam an 2017 is everyone really breathing 20 times a minute? assessing epidemiology and variation in recorded respiratory rate in hospitalised adults bmj qual saf 26(10) 832–836 subbe cp, davies rg, williams e, rutherford p, gemmell l 2003 effect of introducing the modified early warning score on clinical outcomes, cardio pulmonary arrests and intensive care utilisation in acute medical admissions anaesthesia 58(8) 797–802
