Multi sensor approach to detection of heartbeat and respiratory rate aided by fuzzy logic

摘要

This paper describes a method for a heartbeat and respiratory rate monitoring system using air pressure sensors and ultrasonic oscillosensor. By using these sensors, we propose a detection method of the state of human and an extraction method of heartbeat and respiratory rate in bed by fuzzy logic. Our method was examined on four healthy volunteers. We successfully detected the state of human and extracted heartbeat and respiratory signals. In our method, fuzzy logic plays a primary role in the detection of the state and extraction of heartbeat and respiratory signals. An experiment on four healthy volunteers was done. Consequently, our proposed method noninvasively and successfully detects the state of human and extracted heartbeat and respiratory rate in the bed by using the unconstrained sensors.
