Abstract:
This paper describes a method for a respiratory rate monitoring system by an air pressure sensor. By using this sensor, we propose a detection method of a respiratory rate for human in bed by fuzzy logic. Our method was examined on four healthy volunteers. We successfully detected the respiratory rate and the time of apnea state. In our method, fuzzy logic plays a primary role in the detection of respiratory points. The experimental results showed that the error ratio of respiratory rate was 1.3% and the error of time of apnea state was 1.1 seconds. Consequently, this system can noninvasively detect the respiratory rate and the time of apnea state by using an unconstrained device.
