Sensor Platform for Remote Monitoring of Infants

Principal Investigator Richard Fletcher


For home use as well a clinical applications, there is a need for portable monitoring of infants. Several of our wireless sensor platforms have been applied to this application. An early project (with Gili Weinberg and Sum-Lin Gan) was an infant monitoring system using fabric-based capacitive sensors with tangible and ambient displays (video clip available below). More recently, my research includes a variety of wearable wireless sensors that measure physiology, such as baby electrodermal activity and heart rate:
