With this algorithm, the rate measurement was calculated based on direct influences of respiratory-induced intensity variation (RIIV) on blood flow in cardiovascular pathways. For this, a photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor was used to determine changes in heartbeat frequencies. The PPG sensor readings were filtered using an Information Filter and a fast Fourier transform (FFT) to determine the state of RIIV. With a relatively light initialization, the information filter can estimate unknown variables based on a series of measurements containing noise and other inaccuracies. Therefore, this filter is suitable for application in an embedded device. For faster calculation time in the implementation, the FFT analysis was calculated only for a major peak in frequency domain. Test and measurement of respiration rate was conducted based on the device algorithm and spirometer. Heartbeat measurements were also evaluated by comparing the heartbeat data of the PPG sensor and pulse-oximeter. Based on the test, the implemented algorithm can measure the respiration rate with approximately 80% accuracy compared with the spirometer.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18124208","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,30]],"date-time":"2018-11-30T12:13:17Z","timestamp":1543579997000},"page":"4208","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Design and Implementation of Respiration Rate Measurement System Using an Information Filter on an Embedded Device"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Radius Bhayu","family":"Prasetiyo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Science and Technology, Daejeon 34113, Korea"},{"name":"Robotics Group, Korea Institute of Industrial Technology, Gyeonggi-do, Ansan-si 15588, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kyu-Sang","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Manufacturing System Group, Korea Institute of Industrial Technology, Chungcheongnam-do, Cheonan-si 31056, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gi-Hun","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Robotics Group, Korea Institute of Industrial Technology, Gyeonggi-do, Ansan-si 15588, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"34","DOI":"10.1109\/MPOT.2013.2247096","article-title":"The Development of a Mobile Medical Robot Using ER1 Technology","volume":"32","author":"Khan","year":"2013","journal-title":"IEEE Potentials"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Lee, J., Kim, E., Kim, S., Jeon, S., and Choi, H.
