Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Incorporating real time health monitoring systems in a non-restrictive way, can significantly improve an individual’s quality of life in the treatment of sleep disorders. This research suggests a novel system for non-wearable, cost effective measurement of breathing and heart-beat during sleep state. The measurement system is composed of flexible multi-piezoelectric elements to acquire the pressure fluctuations persuade by respiratory movement and heart-beat when the subject is lying on it. Further, in the evaluation of non-breathing time intervals, the amplitude changes in the extracted breathing waveforms were considered over its sleep event. Several experiments were conducted in order to evaluate the performance of the system on above criteria, along with a commercially available system. The experimental results suggest that the proposed method can measure and extract the related waveforms of breathing and heart-beat successfully.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究で開発したシステムは、睡眠中の呼吸、心拍の情報を収集し、呼吸波形の変化からわかりえる睡眠状態を判定することが可能になると期待される。現在のコロナ禍で、在宅治療等が注目されているが、本システムは在宅で自身の睡眠時の状態を把握し、本人が無自覚な睡眠障害を含めて睡眠状態でわかる病気等を予防することができるヘルスケアの機器になりえる。将来的には、在宅だけでなく、介護施設、病院、育児施設等での活用が想定され、無意識に見守られ、見える化できることで、多くの人の生活の質の向上に貢献できるものと考える。
