Research Abstract |
In this study, we monitored vital signs and oral cavity function by developing an unnoticeable and un-restrictive neck-band-type of medical devices that has an embedded sensing device for vital signs. The device analyzes life rhythm and senses oral cavity function, and can wirelessly transmit gathered information. This system was used in prolonged measurements, and we showed clearly that we can provide feedback for life rhythm by analyzing a life rhythm record.
