A non-invasive system has been developed to monitor cardiac vibrations, respiration and posture of inbed hospitalized patients and elderly people who need constant care. These physiological variables are recorded by four 2 x 28 cm piezoelectric film acceleration sensors, eight 2 x 2 cm small pressure sensors and a 5 x 100 cm long pressure sensor. The piezoelectric sensors, attached to the chest over the heart during bed sleep or rest, detect the movements produced by the heartbeat and respiration. The eight small pressure sensors are attached at various positions on the upper and lower body. A longer pressure sensor, to detect the patient leaving the bed, is attached to the side of the bed. These sensor outputs are digitized at a sampling rate of 200 Hz using a 12-bit A/D converter and stored on a personal computer. The computer detects cardiac vibrations and respiration from upper chest movements and posture from the pressures recorded by small and long pressure sensors.
