Agonal-breathing and respiratory-arrest early warning
Notices when a patient's breathing stops or turns into gasping, and calls for help.
The physics is solid; our own validation is scheduled.
How it works
A breathing chest rises and falls in a steady rhythm, and WiFi waves passing over the bed pick up that rhythm. If the rhythm vanishes or breaks into ragged gasps, the system sees the change at once. It works with no wires and no camera.
In the physics: Normal periodic thoracic Doppler at 0.1-0.5Hz either flatlines (apnea = loss of the narrowband tone) or degrades to irregular high-amplitude gasps (agonal = sparse, aperiodic bursts), a sharp departure from the baseline respiratory spectrum.

How the field becomes an answer
How we prove it
OPERAnet respiration ground truth to prove apnea/rate-drop detection sensitivity; own-hardware trial with volunteers performing breath-holds and simulated bradypnea vs. capnograph.
Who it is for
'Opioid-safety respiratory sentinel' — for patient-safety/anesthesia leads meeting post-op sedation monitoring mandates without wiring every bed.
