Intervention

Unconstrained method of measuring heartbeat and respiration signals using a thermistor to measure air flows from an air mattress to an air tube

Comparator

Conventional condenser microphone method

Outcome

Signal-to-noise (SN) ratio with interference by opening and closing of a door as environmental noisesurrogate

A novel unconstrained pneumatic flow measurement system using a thermistor provides higher signal-to-noise ratios for heartbeat and respiration monitoring compared to conventional condenser microphones in the presence of environmental noise.
