Description
The Cardiorespiratory Research Kit is a ready-to-use physiological monitoring solution designed to study the interaction between cardiac, respiratory, and muscular activity. Built on a 4-channel acquisition hub, it enables synchronized assessment of heart rhythm, breathing patterns, and localized muscle activation in controlled or applied research settings.
With dual respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP) sensors, the kit enables separate monitoring of thoracic and abdominal movement, allowing detailed analysis of breathing mechanics and cardiorespiratory coordination. Combined with ECG and EMG acquisition, it supports research in sleep and breathing pattern studies, respiratory training, physical fatigue, and rehabilitation contexts.
This kit is suited for researchers and professionals in physiology, sleep research, and cardiorespiratory assessment who require synchronized multi-signal monitoring in a structured experimental setup. Real-time visualization and structured data recording are supported through PLUX software.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
What exactly is included in the Cardiorespiratory Research Kit?
The Cardiorespiratory Research Kit includes a complete biosignalsplux setup for synchronized physiological data acquisition, based on a 4-channel wireless hub and a predefined set of sensors (ECG, two Inductive Respiration (RIP) sensors and EMG).
It also includes all essential accessories required for proper data acquisition, enabling a ready-to-use setup without additional system integration.
-
Can cardiac and respiratory signals be analyzed synchronously?
Yes. The kit enables synchronized acquisition of cardiac and respiratory signals.
ECG and dual RIP signals are recorded simultaneously, allowing direct analysis of the relationship between heart rhythm and breathing patterns, supporting studies on cardiorespiratory coordination and breathing dynamics.
-
Is the kit suitable for sleep and long-duration monitoring studies?
Yes. The kit is suitable for sleep and long-duration monitoring studies. Its wireless design supports continuous data acquisition over extended periods (up to ~10h depending on configuration), enabling applications such as sleep analysis and breathing pattern assessment.
-
Can I access raw physiological data from all sensors?
Yes. The kit provides access to raw physiological data from all included sensors.
Using PLUX software tools such as Biosignals Studio, users can visualize and record biosignals in real time, supporting the analysis of cardiac, respiratory and muscular activity.
