Abstract
A sensor which is generally included as part of a bed or chair or is attached to or placed on or under a mattress for the physical detection of respiration and cardiac function and particularly alteration in respiration or cardiac function. The sensor may be a portion of a system which is designed to monitor respiration and cardiac function over time.
Claims20
A sensor for detecting cardiac function or breathing of an animal, the sensor comprising:
- a support formed of a base and an outer wall;
- an accelerometer;
- and
- a spring, said spring at equilibrium suspending said accelerometer above said base;
- wherein when said spring allows for said accelerometer to be moved relative to said base.

A system for detecting cardiac function or breathing of an animal, the system comprising:
- a sensor comprising:
- a support formed of a base and an outer wall;
- an accelerometer;
- and
- a spring, said spring at equilibrium suspending said accelerometer above said base;
- wherein when said spring allows for said accelerometer to be moved relative to said base;
- and
- a support structure, mounting said sensor in a fashion that movement of a human torso through respiration or cardiac function causes said accelerometer to move relative to said base.
