Can the sounds of breathing identify the metabolic changes during exercise that are described as VT1 aerobic threshold & VT2 anaerobic threshold?
There's promising research conducted by Breath Research and Dr. Carl Foster at UW Lacrosse. Here's your chance to support this cutting edge technology that could potentially replace conventional metabolic testing, for the purposes of determining Heart Rate training zones.
In an earlier post I asked the question; "Could Breath Acoustics be our answer?" I also promised you an interview with Nirinjan Yee, the CEO and Founder of BreathResearch. Nirinjan's early work in Breath Acoustics (literally recording and analyzing the sounds of breathing) has lead to her Indiegogo crowd-sourcing campaign. Its purpose is to raise the funds needed to fully develop and build the headset microphone worn during exercise.
It's important that Nirinjan reaches her goal of $30,000 by September 29th - not the end date listed of October 29 - because there's a second contest she could win. Phillips Electronics is hosting the “Innovation Fellows” competition and are calling for innovators to submit their #BIGIDEA to address the current innovation gap in the areas of living well, being healthy and enjoying life. With its constant commitment to people-focused innovation, Philips aims to make a difference in people”™s everyday lives, and is offering $100,000 of its own money, plus mentoring from Philips leaders, to help the best ideas come to market faster.
This help from Phillips will be huge. So while you are listening to my Interview with Nirinjan, please go to the project page and help her meet her funding goal 🙂

Hey, John and ICI Pro…
Thanks for sharing Ninijan’s dream … of the four primary vital signs – heart rate, temperature, breathing rate, and blood pressure … breathing is possibly the cornerstone of them all – and we don’t even measure it.
Strange.
Important.
Should be managed.
Let’s start tracking and monitoring the dynamics of it and by supporting the company BR, Breath Research and the A-i-O product – it will move this crusade (ok advocacy) toward making it an essential part of HAL, healthy active living!
with heart,
The Head Heart SALLY
