Abstract: The present disclosure provides a device and method for monitoring thoracic and abdominal breathing patterns, and relates to the technical field of breathing monitoring. The device includes a wearable vest internally covered with a layer of membrane pressure sensors, a micro control unit (MCU), and a liquid crystal display (LCD). Membrane pressure sensors are disposed in chest, abdomen, and shoulder regions of the wearable vest, and configured to acquire pressure strain values generated by chest, abdomen, and shoulders of a wearer when the wearer is breathing and transmit the pressure strain values to the MCU. The MCU is configured to identify a breathing pattern of the wearer according to the pressure strain values. The LCD is configured to display the pressure strain values of different regions of the wearable vest and the breathing pattern of the wearer in real time three-dimensionally.
