Performance. Trust. Innovation<br />

piezo film sleep sensor, with sleep monitor<strong>in</strong>g function, monitors respiratory rate, heart rate, physical activity, deep<br />

sleep, light sleep time and other parameters. The piezo film is <strong>in</strong>stalled under the mattress, allow<strong>in</strong>g for no patient<br />

contact, which has the potential to disrupt sleep.<br />

<strong>Sleep</strong> allows the m<strong>in</strong>d and body to rest and recover. Proper amounts and quality of sleep can improve memory,<br />

learn<strong>in</strong>g comprehension, and mood, while restor<strong>in</strong>g muscles from exertion. The study of sleep helps to understand<br />

<strong>in</strong>dividual areas for improvement to optimize the results for patients struggl<strong>in</strong>g to sleep.<br />

Piezo film is a th<strong>in</strong>, transparent film of PVDF (Polyv<strong>in</strong>ylidene fluoride); it is a material with flexibility, low density, light<br />

weight, and mechanical toughness. The film can be made <strong>in</strong>to a variety of thicknesses. It can be directly attached to<br />

the surface without affect<strong>in</strong>g the mechanical movement of the mechanical parts. The piezo film has the advantages of<br />

wide frequency band, wide dynamic range and high voltage sensitivity.<br />

Piezo film offers low acoustic impedance. Its acoustic impedance is closer to the acoustic impedance of water,<br />

tissues, and other organic materials. A close impedance match facilitates more efficient transduction of sound signals<br />

Wearable devices are also used <strong>in</strong> sleep monitor<strong>in</strong>g applications. By comb<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g heart rate data and movement, sleep<br />

cycles can be tracked on personal devices to give users <strong>in</strong>sight <strong>in</strong>to sleep habits and performance. Digital altimeter<br />

sensors cont<strong>in</strong>ue to develop and improve to survive conditions such as sweat exposure and electrical <strong>in</strong>terference<br />

with the use of signal shield<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
