Description
Sleep disorders deprive a large number of people every year of the rest their bodies need. Current sleep diagnostics methods can be expensive and laden with electrodes, wires, and sensors. The distraction of these monitors and electrodes may have a detrimental effect on obtaining true natural state data. The minimization of invasiveness to the patient, and increased in home use will allow a greater number of individuals to properly diagnose their sleeping disorders. A sensorized blanket is proposed as a means to this end.
