Abstract:
This paper described an automatic home care system for monitoring HR/RR during sleep. Pressure signal is measured with a completely unconstrained pressure sensor beneath a pillow; then the signal is digitalized and the data are transmitted to a remote server using TCP/IP via a netbox. The data are processed and analyzed with a wavelet-based algorithm to obtain the heart rate and respiration rhythm during sleep. Through analyzing 180 days' data obtained from a female subject, it was found that this system can be used for daily monitoring heart rate and respiration rhythm during sleep and evaluating the quality of sleep at home.
