monitoring quantity and quality of sleeping using wisps
It is very important to monitor quantity and quality of sleeping of elderly people. This paper presents a novel sleeping monitoring system based on RFID-based sensors called WISPs (Wireless identification and Sensing Platform). Main advantages of our system are that these WISP devices are noninvasive, inexpensive and do not require batteries. Our system provides feedback to the users/doctors about irregularity in sleeping. Results from our initial experiments show that our system can successfully detect sleeping periods and movements during sleeping.
