Need help with make Portable breath measurement mask (breath by breath O2, CO2)
maxstevens5474 wrote 02/23/2017 at 14:41 • 0 pointsI was wondering if it would be possible to build Device breath measurement mask. These measure breathing volume and O2 concentration (and also CO2, [also if I can measures VO2max, heart rate and outputs calories burned]) while inhaling and exhaling. This allows estimating the O2 consumed on each breath.
I found this project http://www.ece.rutgers.edu/files/capstone/capstone2014/Bio-Metric-Mask/Capstone-Poster-2.0.pdf I found this student project that does what I intended but I can't make project like this and I need your help because:
1- I'm completely noob
2- I need this device for my master thesis in sport medicine
I need help with:
1- connect this products (Arduino, RF wireless transceivers, CO2 sensor, Anemometer, pulse sensor) together
2- programming
3- suggest other products that can help me

That biometric mask seems like a good solution. If you're willing to nix the wireless feature, it can be built for relatively cheap and minimal code. As far as a mask to build it on, your best bet would probably be to buy something pre-made.

I'm from middle east so I can't buy pre-made one, my only option is
to build it myself, I have friend who can send me this products, but if I
can buy pre-made one from where I can buy it.

I don't think there are any masks out there that monitor what you need,
but I would still suggest buying a consumer oxygen mask (I think you
want a non-rebreather type) to attach all of the hardware to. My
preliminary shopping list would be:
- Oxygen mask (medical, non rebreather)
- Arduino (Uno or otherwise)
- CO2, anemometer, and any other sensors you might need
If
this is your first Arduino project, I would not suggest using any sort
of wireless connections, as they are much harder to debug.
