Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A sensor-based system for monitoring a person's breathing automatedly detects respiratory distress, and automatedly adjusts oxygen delivery to mitigate the distress. The system preferably uses non-invasive touchless sensors, such as a camera/imagine device or microphone, or low-touch sensors, such as a wearable pulse oximeter, heart rate sensor or respiration rate sensor configured with low-tack adhesive or straps. The wearable sensors may transmit data wirelessly without associated cables that could damage the person's skin. A non-invasive oxygen delivery system includes a control module operable to control a flow of oxygen from an oxygen source via the oxygen delivery appliance (wearable nasal cannula/mask) as a function of data gathered by the sensors, e.g., to increase a concentration, flow rate or pressure of oxygen delivered to the person when the person is determined to be in respiratory distress, until the distress abates, at which time oxygen delivery may be further adjusted.
