Abstract EN
A reliable system that can simultaneously and accurately monitor respiration and cardiac output would have great utility in healthcare applications.
In this paper we present a novel approach to creating such a system.
This noninvasive, low power, low cost, contactless sensor is suitable for continuous monitoring of respiration (tidal volume) and cardiac stroke volume.
Furthermore, it is capable of delivering this data in true volume (i.e., mL).
The current embodiment, specifically designed for sleep monitoring applications, requires only 100 mW when powered by a 4.8 V battery pack and is based on the use of a single electroresistive band embedded in a T-shirt.
Here, we describe the implementation of the device, explaining the rational and design choices for the electronic circuit and the physical garment together with the preliminary tests performed using one volunteer subject.
Comparison of the device with a commercially available spirometer demonstrates that tidal volume can be monitored over extended periods with a precision of ±10%.
We further demonstrate the utility of the device to measure cardiac output and respiration effort.
