This paper proposes functional assessment system of autonomic nervous system by the heart rate variability using an air cushion sensor. The air cushion sensor can unconstraintly detect vital information by sitting down on the sensor. We perform functional assessment of autonomic nervous system by heart rate variability obtained by the system. We built the real time display system for visualizing the...
This paper describes a method for a respiratory rate monitoring system by an air pressure sensor. By using this sensor, we propose a detection method of a respiratory rate for human in bed by fuzzy logic. Our method was examined on four healthy volunteers. We successfully detected the respiratory rate and the time of apnea state. In our method, fuzzy logic plays a primary role in the detection of...
This paper proposes a functional assessment system of autonomic nervous system using an air pressure sensor. The air pressure sensor can unconstraintly detect vital information by placing it under the mattress in bed. We perform functional assessment of autonomic nervous system by heart rate variability obtained by the system. In this system, we employ fuzzy membership functions with dynamic parameter...
In order to realize heart rate monitoring on a bed, there are mainly two types of approaches similar to other signal processing applications: frequency domain analysis and time-series domain analysis. In frequency domain analysis, FFT is widely used to extract heart rate from obtained signals. Since FFT assumes constant frequency, it cannot be used for extracting microscopic variability of heart rate...
This paper describes a human health monitoring system by an air pressure sensor and an ultrasonic sensor system. The ultrasonic sensor system can obtain the state of a patient in bed by placing it under a bed frame. That is, we can determine whether or not a patient in the bed. The air pressure sensor system can detect heart beats by placing it to the mattress on the bed. By using two sensors complementary,...
In this paper, we introduce a health monitoring system by both air pressure and ultrasonic sensors. The system of these sensors can complementary detect a behavior before getting out of bed with high accuracy aided by fuzzy membership functions. In this system, the ultrasonic sensor can obtain vibration information of human by setting it the under a bed frame. The air pressure sensor can also detect...
