ABSTRACT

In this paper, we implemented a system to measure respiration rate with nonrestraint sensorscomfortable for people to do their everyday life. The proposed system consists of a pad covered with aPiezoelectric sensor, a respiration measuring device able to send the signal data after amplifying andfiltering the source signals to the viewer, a viewer providing sensor data visualization and implementingthe respiration measuring algorithm. The algorithm is based on a breathing cycle with the local peak pointsextracted from threshold on sensor data. Respiration measurements on 3 subjects were performed bychanging moving averages and thresholds. The proposed system showed less than 5% error rate when proper moving averages are N=50 ∼ 60 and a range of thresholds is 800 ∼ 1300. The system willcontribute to preventing suffocation during sleep for infants and the elderly living alone.
