Unobtrusive Sensing for Monitoring Sleep and Health Parameters
Using unobtrusive sensors directly integrated into the bed, we monitor physiological signals like body position, breathing, and heart rate. The goal is to use sensors that do not influence the comfort of the user negatively or cause any privacy concerns – while still allowing us to estimate the sleep efficiency of the users as well as to monitor the overall health. We experiment with sensorized textiles, bioradar sensors, and wearable sensors.
Involved People
Using unobtrusive sensors like compact sensorized textiles, we develop algorithms to classify sleeping positions and physiological signals like breathing rate and heart rate.
