The aim of this study is to quantify thoracic and abdominal movements during breathing using a newly developed iPad-based breathing measurement app (BREVI), and to examine differences in breathing parameters between individuals with and without a history of falls.
Others
By clarifying the relationship between fall risk and breathing parameters, grip strength and PROMs (patient-reported outcomes), the study aims to propose new indicators for fall prevention.

Targeting a broad demographic aged between 30 and 60, we will measure chest and abdominal movements during rest and deep breathing whilst lying down, using the iPad-based respiratory monitoring app BREVI, which utilises depth sensors. Through this, we aim to clarify the impact of a history of falls on respiratory pattern features, analyse correlations with grip strength and various PROMs, and establish new health indicators based on respiration.
