Claim 15:
16. A method for respiratory monitoring of a subject, said method comprising:
receiving an acquired bioimpedance signal representing a bioimpedance of the subject, wherein the bioimpedance signal is acquired by a bioimpedance measurement sensor arranged on a carrier configured for being arranged on a region of the body of the subject;
receiving an acquired reference signal representing an amount of respiratory effort of the subject or representing an amount of respiratory airflow of the subject, wherein the bioimpedance signal and the reference signal have been acquired simultaneously; and
processing the bioimpedance signal using information in the received reference signal to separate the bioimpedance signal into an effort signal component and a flow signal component, the effort signal component representing the respiratory effort of the subject, and the flow signal component representing the respiratory airflow of the subject.
