Objectives
Current Design
This project focuses on developing an infant monitor to detect stopped
breathing while an infant is sleeping. The product needs to be safe,
reliable and cost effective.
Monitoring system
Prototypes
Prototyping involved using strain gages attached to a mattress, pressure
measurements and weight scales. The final prototype uses a variable
inductance oscillator circuit in a strap. This will be attached to infant sleepwear.

Project Details
Spring semester falls
between the stars. Work
during spring semester
includes final prototyping,
designing housing for the
electrical equipment,
incorporating the base
unit and receivers, and
testing.
The budget is shown on
the pie chart.

Sleep Center Equipment
The sleep center provided information in
measuring human metrics particularly while a
person is sleeping.
