Abstract :
This paper describes a development of health monitoring system that uses a non-invasive type microphone based pressure sensor. The system can estimate the sleep stages from the heartbeats and body motion measured by the sensor. The algorithm for sleep stages estimations as implemented to the single chip microcomputer. The validity of the proposed system is confirmed by comparing the conventional sleep stage estimation results.
