Abstract:
This paper demonstrates a BSN-based portable monitor integrating micro sensors with mobile devices for monitoring and diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) at home. The system uses a micro hot-film flow sensor to detect respiratory flow, uses tri-axis micro accelerometer to detect body posture and motion intensity, and uses a micro photoelectric sensor to detect oxygen saturation of blood. The real-time vital signs are detected and transmitted wirelessly to a mobile device. The transmitted data are processed and analyzed in the mobile device and can be further transmitted to a remote medical center and physicians through mobile cellular networks or Internet for comprehensively analyzing, assessing, and diagnosing to the diseases.
