INFANT RESPIRATION AND HEART RATE MONITORING WITH EMFI SENSOR

Satu Rajala, Jukka Lekkala

Abstract

An EMFi sensor based measurement system for monitoring of respiration and heart rates of an infant is developed in this study. The EMFi sensor is located in the crib between the mattress and sheet and the infant is sleeping on top of the sensor. The EMFi sensor was found to be functional especially in the measurement of respiration rate. The measurement system developed in this study is unobtrusive and comfortable for the infant and no wire attachments are needed.
