Altair medical has developed a pre-commercial investigational wearable (chest-worn) biosensor which can measure continuous respiratory rate and respiratory events. This sensor has been verified to have good correlation with reference impedance plethysmography data. Inclusion criteria: All inpatients in the QEUH with respiratory failure from any cause. Exclusion criteria: Lack of capacity to consent Physiology data will be correlated with event time-course data including oxygen and breathing support requirements, deterioration, hospital discharge and status at 28 days and 90 days post discharge. A small subset of patients will have further investigations - parasternal EMG; thoracic electrical impedance tomography; forced oscillometry and post discharge Altair and Fitbit data. Study analysis will include machine learning model development with the objective of developing risk-predictions for clinically significant deteriorations.
