Custom FPGA System for Intelligent Bed Sheet Patient Monitor

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

A major challenge in continuous care is the adoption and retention of new technologies. Introducing atechnology solution that requires no change in behaviour of the patient or caretaker maximizes the likelihood ofadoption and retention, and unlocks the potential of technological improvements to increase the quality ofpatient care. Studio 1 Labs is a Canadian technology company that has developed an intelligent bed sheet withfabric sensor technology for continuous monitoring of physiological information such as heart rate andrespiratory rate. This monitoring is completely non-invasive and involves no hassle for the patient as it enablesthe detection of clinical endpoints without requiring any attachments to the body. The potential for adoption ofthis technology is high, as it simply involves replacing existing bed sheets with the intelligent bed sheets, andhas the potential to reduce the costs of continuous monitoring. The purpose of this project is to design andimplement improved electronics and signal processing systems to enable more widespread deployment of theintelligent bed sheet.
