Video Dataset for Respiratory Rate Counting in Children

This dataset contains video recordings of chest movements of children under five years of age, captured for the purpose of respiratory rate (RR) assessment. The children presented at three different level of hospitals in Bangladesh with respiratory symptoms such as cough or breathing difficulty. Each child is assigned a unique child ID and has one associated video file in MP4 format, which visually documents their chest movements for RR counting. In addition to the video files, the dataset includes a Stata data file (.dta) containing complementary metadata. This file provides information on each child's demographic characteristics, reported clinical symptoms (e.g., cough, difficulty breathing), and respiratory rate as assessed by a trained video expert panel. This dataset supports research on automated or manual respiratory rate counting, clinical diagnostics, and pediatric respiratory health.
