Abstract

A successful case for UWB technology application to Vital Signs Monitoring Systems created by authors is presented in this paper. Baby Monitor for remote contactless monitoring of respiratory and heart rate is designed both for consumer and medical infant monitoring applications. Unlike conventional sound- and video-based baby monitors, which do not provide any useful information at infant sleep time (no sounds or static picture) the devices allow permanent parental control and effectively prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) from occurring. SIDS is reported to be leading death cause of healthy infants after one month age.
