In modern human society, various types of pressure sensor are widely used for various fields, e.g. simple weight measurement, pressure distribution of the chairs and so on. In particular from medical viewpoint, dynamic pressure distribution measurement makes it possible to observe a patience condition without any personal privacy violation. Because of human body metabolism, dynamic pressure distribution of the patience is capable of inform various important medical data such as heartbeat, breathing and pulse count.
In the present paper we have carried out a pressure distribution measurement as a first step to exploit a smart bed system having dynamic pressure visualizing capability. Employed pressure sensor is a transformer type, which keeps cushiness as well as toughness as a bed in medical use.
