This invention relates to the field of
sleep monitoring technology for the elderly, specifically an intelligent
sleep monitoring system for the elderly. The
sleep monitoring belt is responsible for the precise acquisition of physiological signals, while the
millimeter-
wave radar is responsible for positioning the entire
bed. The two systems complement each other for calibration, significantly improving the accuracy of
lying position determination and avoiding the problems of inaccurate positioning and inability to determine sleeping posture associated with traditional single monitoring devices. Furthermore, the monitoring belt and
millimeter-
wave radar collect data synchronously, allowing for the fusion and analysis of
location data, physiological parameters, and
body movement trajectories. Compared to single devices, this enables the identification of more complex combinations of sleep states, improving health early warning capabilities. The threshold of the
millimeter-
wave radar is optimized by combining the
body movement and
heart rate signals from the sleep monitoring belt, reducing the false negative rate of the millimeter-wave
radar for weak
breathing and
body movement in the elderly, making it particularly suitable for the
elderly population who are very old, have weak
breathing, and exhibit little body movement. Moreover, the millimeter-wave
radar's data is converted into
rectangular coordinates on the
bed surface, which, combined with the pressure distribution of the monitoring belt, makes the determination of the
lying area more accurate.
