Abstract

BACKGROUND: Various sensor technologies have been developed to monitor the health of older adults; however, most of them require attachment to the skin. This study aimed to develop a health monitoring system, using a non-adhesive, non-invasive polyvinylidene difluoride piezoelectric sensor, with the patient being able to lead a normal daily life without being conscious of the sensor. The vibration signal from the human body surface obtained by the piezoelectric sensor, which is a ballistocardiography signal, contains information on the person's heart and respiratory rates. We propose a method that enables individual identification based on the characteristics of the frequency components of the signal.
