- Abstract:
- This paper describes a new nursing support system at home in the night. The system non-restrictively monitors patients on the bed. An air mattress laid out on the bed, a fine pressure to detect the pressure in the air mattress and filters are the components of the system. The human body movements such as the heart beat, respiration, snoring, turning over and coughing directly to the pressure in the mattress and causes of the body movements can be discriminated by the proper filtering.
Physical conditions of the patient can be diagnosed by bio-information above. When he is in an emergent situation, he might turn over very frequently. The continuos monitoring helps to find his sudden physical change, which considerably reduce the effort of nursing. Further when the patient is in a normal condition, the continuos measurement of the bio-information above provides the important health information. - Keywords:
