A Bedsheet for Baby Monitoring at Night: Measurement and Characterization Results

Abstract

This paper presents the characterization of a smart bedsheet developed by Studio 1 Labs, which could be used to monitor the movement of an infant at night in order to detect and prevent sleep-related disorders. This smart bedsheet consists of an array of conductive fabrics to be used as pressure sensors to track the baby's movement. Electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) has been performed using the Metrohm Autolab potentiostat on a single and two-fabric interface. The results of this study will provide the information required to develop a sensitive and reliable smart bedsheet.
