Microwave Doppler Transducer for Contactless Cardiorespiratory Monitoring
نویسنده
چکیده
One presents the results of a study concerning the use of microwave Doppler transducer for contact-less detection of cardiorespiratory activity. The main element of the installation is a microwave Doppler transducer. The Doppler signal resulting from the movement of the anatomical structures is a complex one. The experimental setup also includes an electrocardiograph, a photopletismograph and a pneumatic sensor attached to the thorax to detect breathing motions. At the same time, two types of breathing were identified: the thoracic and the abdominal ones. A good correlation was noticed between the ECG signal and the Doppler signal.

متن کاملAn Ultrasonic Contactless Sensor for Breathing Monitoring
The monitoring of human breathing activity during a long period has multiple fundamental applications in medicine. In breathing sleep disorders such as apnea, the diagnosis is based on events during which the person stops breathing for several periods during sleep. In polysomnography, the standard for sleep disordered breathing analysis, chest movement and airflow are used to monitor the respir...

To obtain maximum unobtrusiveness with sensors for monitoring health parameters on the human body, two technical solutions are combined. First we propose contactless sensors for capacitive electromyography measurements. Secondly, the sensors are integrated into textile, so complete fusion with a wearable garment is enabled. We are presenting the first successful measurements with such sensors. ...

متن کاملValidation of a microwave radar system for the monitoring of locomotor activity in mice
BACKGROUND The general or spontaneous motor activity of animals is a useful parameter in chronobiology. Modified motion detectors can be used to monitor locomotor activity rhythms. We modified a commercial microwave-based detection device and validated the device by recording circadian and ultradian rhythms. METHODS Movements were detected by microwave radar based on the Doppler effect. The e...
