Validations

RIP SUM (Respiratory Inductive Plethysmography SUM) is a non-invasive method for monitoring respiratory effort and airflow, widely used in sleep apnea diagnosis. This technique combines signals from thoracic and abdominal sensors to measure respiratory effort and airflow without requiring facial sensors. Validated by studies and included in AASM guidelines, RIP SUM provides reliable data on airflow mechanics, distinguishing between obstructive and central apneas. Devices like Wesper LAB leverage this principle to deliver real-time, accurate respiratory monitoring, offering advantages over PAT and PPG technologies by focusing on direct physiological signals, unaffected by peripheral factors or heart arrhythmias, and ensuring high diagnostic accuracy in clinical and home settings.
