Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Sensor Technology
  • Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS)

Background:

  • Respiration monitoring is crucial for patient care.
  • Existing methods often require wired connections or frequent battery replacements.
  • There is a need for wireless, battery-less, and disposable sensing solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a battery-less wireless MEMS-based respiration sensor.
  • To enable remote respiration monitoring with high accuracy.
  • To create an inexpensive and disposable sensor for enhanced user mobility and reduced sanitation burden.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a custom UHF RFID antenna and a piezoelectric MEMS resonator with dual resonance modes.
  • Respiration was monitored by detecting changes in the MEMS resonator's frequency due to inhaled/exhaled air.
  • Employed Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis of reflected signals to track resonance frequency.
  • Implemented a motion artifact and drift compensation method using the difference between the two resonance modes.

Main Results:

  • Achieved battery-less wireless respiration sensing up to 2m distance.
  • Demonstrated a mean excitation power of 80 µW and a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 124.8 dB at 0.5m.
  • The sensor footprint is approximately 10 cm².
  • Successfully tracked respiration profiles and compensated for motion artifacts.

Conclusions:

  • The developed MEMS sensor offers a promising solution for battery-less, wireless respiration monitoring.
  • Its design facilitates user mobility, cost-effectiveness, and disposability.
  • The dual-mode compensation method effectively removes motion artifacts, enhancing reliability.
