REMUS

Most of the time, breathing is not continuously monitored in nursing or in hospital, especially during sleep. As a result, a change for the worse in the patient's condition is noticed late. Continuous recording of respiratory parameters with discreet, external sensors can be a solution. The recorded respiratory data provide information about the general state of health and can be used for an early alarm in case of deterioration. The measurement is enabled by a radar that measures without contact and is therefore particularly user-friendly and hygienic.

Sleep problems can become a health risk. This is because poor sleep increases the risk of daytime sleepiness, for example. This is especially the case with breathing-related sleep problems, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or sleep apnea. The nocturnal breathing pauses in sleep apnea also carry a high risk of secondary diseases. The contactless respiratory monitoring, developed at the Oldenburg Branch for Hearing, Speech and Audio Technology HSA, is aimed at companies in the consumer health sector as well as markets for medical devices for vital data recording. In our Connected Health work area, we develop solutions for health services that can be used flexibly from anywhere and function contactless.
