Paper Abstract
In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a new method to monitor heart rate using fiber optic microbending based
sensor for in-bed non-intrusive monitoring. The sensing system consists of transmitter, receiver, sensor mat, National
Instrument (NI) data acquisition (DAQ) card and a computer for signal processing. The sensor mat is embedded inside a
commercial pillow. The heart rate measurement system shows an accuracy of +/-2 beats, which has been successfully
demonstrated in a field trial. The key technological advantage of our system is its ability to measure heart rate with no
preparation and minimal compliance by the patient.
