Abstract In this paper, a new method of respiratory rate monitoring and Lung-disease analysis are done using Lab VIEW. The respiratory rate of the lung-disease patients are being measured using visual assessment method. This method provides approximate value of respiratory rate, which is not suitable to analyze the lung-based diseases. To overcome the drawbacks of visual assessment method, we propose a LabVIEW-based respiratory monitoring system. The proposed monitoring system measures the accurate respiratory rate of lung-disease patients by using LabVIEW software, which gets the input from pressure sensor and altera DE2 board. The FPGA processor is configured with an inbuild ADC as a system on chip (SoC). The output is also analyzed to detect different lung-related diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and ASTHMA. Hence, the proposed system displays the respiratory rate of the patient and also indicates the status of two respiratory diseases.
