A 3rd year medical student struggles to obtain accurate respiratory rate measurements in pediatric patients because children become self-conscious and uncooperative during the 60-second count.
No discreet or child-friendly method exists for measuring respiratory rate in pediatric settings; the gold standard requires a full minute of overt observation, which alerts the child and disrupts natural breathing.

Implied Software Gaps
- A mobile app that can measure respiratory rate via video or motion sensors while distracting the child would replace the awkward manual full-minute count.
App Concept
PediCount Pro
A mobile app that uses the phone's camera or accelerometer to detect subtle chest movements and calculate respiratory rate in 10-15 seconds without the child noticing. The app also provides distraction techniques (e.g., animated characters) to keep the child calm during measurement.
Key Features
- Camera-based motion detection for respiratory rate
- Accelerometer mode for wearable patches
- Child-friendly animated distraction screen
- Auto-timed 10-second or 60-second recording options
- HIPAA-compliant data storage and integration with EHR
Target Users: Pediatric medical students, nurses, and doctors in hospitals and clinics who need quick, accurate respiratory rates without alarming pediatric patients.
Revenue Model: $4.99 monthly subscription per user or $49.99 annual fee; institutional licenses at $999/year per hospital floor.
