This paper describes a method for a heartbeat and respiratory rate monitoring system using air pressure sensors and ultrasonic oscillosensor. By using these sensors, we propose a detection method of the state of human and an extraction method of heartbeat and respiratory rate in bed by fuzzy logic. Our method was examined on four healthy volunteers. We successfully detected the state of human and extracted heartbeat and respiratory signals. In our method, fuzzy logic plays a primary role in the detection of the state and extraction of heartbeat and respiratory signals. An experiment on four healthy volunteers was done. Consequently, our proposed method noninvasively and successfully detects the state of human and extracted heartbeat and respiratory rate in the bed by using the unconstrained sensors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
