Abstract
This study focuses on non-contact ECG measurement technology and introduces a sleep monitoring system equipped with non-contact electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes and a respiration/motion sensor. The non-contact ECG measurement can be attained using capacitively-coupled electrode technology. The ECG of a subject with nightwear, such as pajamas, can be measured using this technique because it measures the ECG through a capacitor formed between the electrode and the ECG signal source. Using this sleep monitoring system, various sleep conditions of the elderly can be monitored, and abnormalities can be identified, such as abnormal heart rate and sleep behavior, including ambulation and sleep apnea, without disrupting their sleep. In many industrialized countries, including Japan, society is rapidly aging, and there is increasing demand for a system that can monitor the sleep of the elderly in nursing homes and care facilities and those living alone at home and thus increase their quality of life. By connecting this system with the hospital information systems or electronic medical record system, medical support and care planning will be more efficient.
