Abstract:
A breathing monitor and method for monitoring respiration, such as for detecting apnea events and/or preventing Sudden Infant Death Syndrome includes one or more variable inductance sensors that are configured to stretch and contract in response to breathing movements. Stretching and contraction are associated with an inductance change in the sensors, which are configured to alter a frequency of an oscillator circuit. The breathing monitor may also comprise a transmitter circuit coupled to a microcontroller or other processor that analyzes the frequency changes and sounds an alarm in the event that breathing ceases for a predetermined time period. The breathing monitor and associated sensor circuitry can be secured to a garment to be worn by an infant or other subject to be monitored.
