[Netease Smart News, August 8] Recently, American scientists have developed an algorithm for analyzing radio frequency signals that can be used to monitor the user's sleep. This invention uses a device similar to a wireless router to monitor the depth of breathing. Degree to determine if the user is dreaming.
The study was completed by MIT researchers and medical staff in the Sleep Medicine Department at the Massachusetts General Hospital. In this regard, MIT professor Dina Katabi said: "Imagine if your Wi-Fi router knows when you are dreaming and can monitor whether you have enough deep sleep, which is very necessary for memory consolidation. We hope to develop an intangible health sensor that exists next to you, captures your physiological signals and a range of important health indicators without requiring users to change their behavior in any way."
Sensors work by sending low-level RF signals to the body, which then reflect back from the body. The slight movement of the human body is detected by a radio frequency device similar to a router and analyzed by an algorithm. This kind of diagnostic data and information collected by artificial intelligence is obtained by directly connecting the electrode sensor to an object and does not require wires. Analyzing these RF signals can be used to monitor vital signs such as pulse and respiratory rate.
This notebook-sized artificial intelligence device helps to completely change sleep disorders and other disorders without the need to force the patient into an unfamiliar environment for observation and treatment. Compared with monitoring the patient's sleep quality by attaching wires, electrodes, etc. to the patient's body surface, if the doctor can remotely monitor the patient's normal sleep environment, the treatment of the condition and the study of sleep will be easier.
It is reported that in the United States alone, about 50 million people suffer from sleep disorders, accounting for 16% of the total population of the United States. This real-time monitoring of new breakthroughs in people’s sleep patterns may benefit everyone. It is good for us all. Previously, this research area has also developed a similar radio device that can be used to detect human emotions.
