Abstract

Quality of sleep is an important attribute of an elder's health state and its assessment is still a huge issue. The sleep posture is a significant feature to evaluate the quality of sleep, and how to detect elder's sleep posture is a key challenge in elder-care community. This paper proposes an unobtrusive sleep postures detection solution and introduces pressure sensor matrix to monitor the elder's sleep posture in bed. Based on the proposed sleep detection system, the processing methods of experimental data and the classification approaches for sleep posture detection are also discussed.
