Open-Source Respiration Signal Processing Tools
13 open-source tools for respiration data, most often in Python and MATLAB. Each listing shows its licence, commercial use and last commit.
What open-source tools process respiration signals from wearables?
Respiration signals record breathing, either directly with a belt or flow sensor or indirectly from other signals such as ECG, PPG or motion.

Questions about open-source Respiration tools
What is Respiration?
Respiration signals record breathing, either directly with a belt or flow sensor or indirectly from other signals such as ECG, PPG or motion.
How many open-source Respiration tools are listed?
13. The most common categories are signal processing (12) and benchmark harness (1).
Which programming languages do open-source Respiration tools use?
Python (9) and MATLAB (2); 2 do not state a language. A tool that names more than one language is counted under each.
Can I use these Respiration tools in a commercial product?
It depends on each licence. Of the 13 tools, 13 list commercial use as yes, 0 as no and 0 do not state it. Each tool page shows the licence exactly as the project publishes it; read the licence in the project repository before you build on it.
Listings, summaries, licences and commercial-use fields are shown as recorded for each project, as of Oct 21, 2026. Maintenance is computed from the date of the last commit. Check the licence in each project’s repository before you use it.
