본 논문은 깊이 카메라를 이용하여 가슴의 움직임만으로 호흡률을 예측하는 시스템을 제안한다. 카메라는 실험자의 흉부 앞에 위치하였으며, 흉부를 관심 영역으로 지정하여 깊이 값의 변화를 추출하였으며 노이즈를 제거한 후 Welch 메소드와 AR 메소드를 이용하여 호흡률을 계산하였다. 계산된 호흡률을 검증하기 위하여 공기 흐름 측정 센서를 이용하여 호흡률을 계산하고 비교하였다. 실험에서 10명의 지원자를 대상으로 0.1 Hz 부터 0.4 Hz까지 측정하여 약 98%의 정확률을 얻었다.

In this study, we have proposed a simple cardiorespiratory monitoring method based on displacements of human body which occurs due to periodic heartbeat and breathing. The proposed system consists of an aircushion, pressure sensing hardware and heartbeat and respiration signals extraction algorithm. The aircushion was used for unconstrained measurement of the respiration and heartbeats without a sensor attached on the subject's skin surface. The displacements of subject sitting on the aircushion cause small pressure variations. These variations are amplified and filtered with the pressure sensing hardware. Finally, heart rate and respiration rate are extracted by signal processing algorithm based on frequency domain filter. To evaluate the performance, extracted respiration and heart rate from proposed system were compared with conventional methods. The average sensitivity of respiration and heart rate are 98.67% and 99.24%, respectively. These results show the proposed method has advantages of installing and processing simplicity so as to be used easily in unconstrained respiration and heart rate monitoring in daily life.

본 연구에서는 비접촉 방식으로 심박과 호흡을 측정하기 위해 2.4GHz 대역에서 동작하는 도플러 레이더 센서와 베이스밴드 모듈로 구성된 도플러 레이더 시스템을 설계하고 그 성능을 평가하였다. 설계된 도플러 레이더 시스템은 심폐활동에 의한 흉부 표면의 움직임에 의해 반사되는 레이더의 위상변화를 이용하여 심폐 활동을 측정한다. 도플러 레이더 센서의 출력은 베이스 밴드 모듈의 전처리 필터부, 증폭부, 오프셋 조정부를 통과하여 호흡과 심박 신호로 분리된다. 분리된 생체신호는 기존의 생체신호와 상관성을 확인하기 위해 기준신호로 호흡과 심전도를 동시에 측정하여 그 결과를 비교 및 분석하였다. 설계된 도플러 레이더 시스템에서 분리된 호흡 및 심박 신호는 측정 대상의 움직임이 없는 상태에서는 높은 검출률을 보였으며, 도플러 레이더에서 심박과 호흡 신호를 검출한 결과 거리, 호흡과 심박의 변이량, 호흡과 심박대역에 따라 검출률이 영향을 받는다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

According to introduction of Well-Being lifestyle and ageing society, vital sign monitoring system which can be continued measurement of vital sign has been increased their important in field of the healthcare. Under this trend, Respiration monitoring system has been studied and developed in a various way to apply continued monitoring and non-conscious monitoring system. But, Study of the respiration monitoring system based on consumer needs and usability test is insufficient. In this study, Textile capacitive pressure sensor(TCPS) of belt type was developed and tested it's utility and subjective sensibility. TCPS measures respiration signals and can be derived in real time monitoring. As a result, monitoring respiration using textile capacitive pressure sensor offers a promising possibility of convenient measurement of respiration rate (correlation (r＝0.9553, p<0.0001). In the result of usability and wearability test, all of categorizes(perceived change, wearability, movement, facility of management, usefulness) were received favorable evaluation on usability test( mean value : 3.8), and suitable location of TCPS in the clothing is deriven on the abdomen part. According to synthetical results, Basic smart clothing design based on respiration monitoring system is proposed.

In this study, we developed and evaluated the patient respiration training method which can help to avoid the problems for the limitation of RGRT applicable patient cases. By using the MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical-system) acceleration sensor, we measured movement of motion phantom. We had compared the response of MEMS with commercially introduced real time patient monitoring (RPM) system. We measured the response of the MEMS with 1 dimensional motion phantom movement for 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 second of period and the 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 cm of the amplitudes. The measured period error of the MEMS system was 0.6~6.0% compared with measured period using RPM system. We found that the shape of MEMS signals were similar with RPM system. From this study, we found the possibility of MEMS as patient training system.

Most wearable system for mobile healthcare applications consists of three parts. The first part is the sensing elements based on bio-signal, the second is the circuit module for control, data acquisition and wireless communication and control and the third is garment with a built-in electrodes and circuits. The existing healthcare garment systems have to find a solution to signal-wire and uncomfortable and inappropriate electrode to long-term attachment. Even if the wireless communication is used for healthcare garment system, the interface between sensors and circuits have to use wires. To solve these problems, this paper use electrode using PEDOT coated PVDF nanoweb for ECG signal and PVDF film sensor for respiratory signal. And, we constructed garment network using digital yarn of 10um, and transmitted ECG and respiratory signal to mobile phone through the integrated circuit with bluetooth called station To evaluate feasibility of the proposed mobile healthcare garment system, we experimented with transmission and measurement of ECG and respiratory signal using nanoweb electrode and digital yarn. We got a successful result without noise and attenuation.

체중이 700-750kg 인 4마리의 중종마에 70분동안 마취를 실시하여 동맥혈의 이 산화탄소 분압과 호기말 가스내의 이산화탄소 분압 사이의 관계를 관찰하였다. 마취도중 자발 호흡, 인공호흡 1(흡기시간 2.0초), 인공호흡 2(흡기시간 2.5초)를 각각 30분,20분,20분씩 실시하였으며 매 10분마다 동맥혈가스분석과 호기말 가스내 이산화탄소분압 측정을 실시하 였다. 동시에 혈압, 심전도, 체온측정을 실시하여 마취된 환축의 상태를 관찰하였다. 2주후에 자세를 달리하여(앙와에서 측와로) 같은 방법으로 재 실험하였다. 호기말 이산화탄소분압은 동맥혈에서보다 평균 10 mmHg 정도 낮은 양상을 보였으나 높은 상관관계를 보였으며 자세에 따른 유의적 차이는 업었다(앙와자세; r=0.949, 측와자세; r=0.920, P<0.01). 이러한 결과를 토 대로 조직에 창상을 줄 수 있는 동맥혈 가스분석 대신 비침습적방법인 호기말 가스내 이산화 탄소 분압을 측정하는 것이 환축의 모니터링에 효과적으로 사용 가능하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is for fundamental research of meditation smart wear for physical and mental healing, and researching method for monitoring phase of meditation through textile by measuring the number of abdominal respiration when meditating. For this purpose, the research implemented Single Wall Carbon Nano-Tube (SWCNT) based strain gauges type textile sensor, considered reliability and validity of respiratory sensing, and analyzed efficiency of respiratory sensing based on body parts comparatively. The first preliminary experiment was to evaluate the performance of textile sensor through abdominal model dummy which open and shut of 5 cm repeatedly for 2 minutes at the rate of 0.1Hz in order to simulate abdominal respiration. It concluded signal efficiency between reference sensor(BIOPAC) and textile respiratory sensor appears statistically significant (p<0.001). The second experiment were conducted with 4 subjects doing abdominal respiration under same conditions, and after comparing the signal values between two sensors from 4 attached locations(around center and sides of omphali and phren), center of omphali and sides of phren were selected as suitable location for measuring meditational breathing as they showed large and stable signals. In result, this research aimed for implementing of the textile sensor for sensing meditational breathing of long respiration cycle, review of reliability and validity for sensing number of meditational respiration with the sensor and consideration of sensing efficiency by sensing location on body parts.

환경변화 모니터링을 위한 지표생물로서의 척추동물의 중요성 생태계 에너지피라미드(energy pyamid)에서는 영양단계가 한 단계 올라갈 때마다 포식자들은 섭취한 먹이량의 약 90%를 생활에 필요한 호흡과 생리작용을 통해 소비하고 단지 10% 정도만이 다음 영양단계로 올라간다고 알려져 있다(Brum et al 1994). 그러나 염화탄화수소와 같은 오염물질들의 생체내에서의 대사효율은 다른 먹이의 약 20%에 불과하여 결국 50% 정도가 다음 단계의 소비자에게 전달되게 되는 셈이다. (중략)
