Abstract

SIDS is the sudden death of an infant of unknown cause. SIDS may be caused by a delayed arousal response from apnea during sleep, and prompt resuscitation from infant sleep apnea detection is important to prevent SIDS. In a nursery facility, the condition of infants must be filled out on a check sheet every 5 minutes to prevent SIDS, which is a burden on nursery teachers. Therefore, a system that automatically measures the respiration of infants is required. In this study, we developed a system that measures the respiration of multiple infants simultaneously without contact using a three-dimensional sensor, and analyzes the measured respiration in real time. Using the developed system, it was possible to measure the respiratory and analyze the frequency in real time for multiple infants during a nap in a nursery facility.
