In an ageing society, the elderly can be monitored with numerous physiological, physical
and passive devices. Sensors can be installed in the home for continuous mobility …

Cardiorespiratory monitoring during sleep is one of the basic means for assessment of
personal health, and has been widely used in diagnosis of sleep disorders. This paper …

We have examined a non-contact respiration measurement using Kinect, that is 3D sensor
based on structured light, in order to decrease the burden of the pulmonary function test. In …

In this paper, a plastic optical fiber sensor for respiratory monitoring purposes is presented.
The sensor was integrated into a small, robust, and flexible package to be attached directly …

We describe the principle of the respiration monitoring by the multiple slit light irradiation
and the configuration of the respiration monitoring system. In the developed system, the fiber …

It is said that sleep apnea syndrome is one of the main causes of airplane, train and car
accidents. We have developed a non-contact breathing measurement system which …

Recent breakthroughs in computer vision offer an exciting avenue to develop new remote,
and non-intrusive patient monitoring techniques. A very challenging topic to address is the …

We proposed the respiration monitoring method with non-contact and unrestraint, applied
the projection of the near-infrared multiple slit-light pattern. In the respiration monitoring …

In this study we have fabricated an all-plastic fiber based sensor that can accurately
measure breathing rate. The sensor is attached using simple medical tape on the chest and …

Incorporating real time health monitoring systems in a non-restrictive way, can significantly
improve an individual's quality of life in the treatment of sleep disorders. This paper suggests …
