Smart bed sensor for detection of sleep disorders in patients with Parkinson's disease

Abstract:

Most of the patients with Parkinson's disease present problems in their nighttime sleeping hours caused by REM sleep behavior disorder, restless legs syndrome, periodic leg movement, excessive daytime sleepiness, restless sleep, sleep apneas during sleep, primary insomnia, and all other sleep disorders. The main objective of the work is the implementation of a smart bed sensor for the detection of sleep disorders in patients with Parkinson's disease to improve sleep quality and user experience, employing highly sensitive resistive sensors and internet of things (IoT) technology. Thanks to the smart sensor, it will be able to acquire information such as, respiratory rate, heart rate and posture of the user. The device will be low cost, highly durable, comfortable, easy to install regardless of the type of mattress or foundations, with its own app for easy management, configuration and historical data collection.
