Abstract:
On average, people spend more than a quarter of their day in bed. If physiological information could be collected automatically while we sleep, it would be effective not only for health management but also for disease prevention. Unobtrusive bed monitoring devices have been developed over the past 30 years or so to detect physiological information without awareness, and this method attracted attention again in the 2020s, with the proliferation of deep learning, AI, and IoT. This section describes the current state of the art.

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
