Abstract :
The paper presents a fully integrated system for apnea detection. Apnea has been one of the leading causes of death in the USA and it is even more critical for premature neonatal infants. A prototype device with the pyroelectric sensor and a wireless telemetry designed in 0.5 μm CMOS process is presented which overcomes the complexity of the point of care diagnosis of sleeping disorders.
