Title:
SMART BELT FOR BREATHING AND HEART RATE MONITORING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/112095
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A sensor member for use in a wearable device for monitoring vital signs of a user, the sensor member comprising: a substrate repeatedly extendable and retractable in a direction of extension/retraction, the direction of extension/retraction lying in a plane of the substrate; a deformation member disposed on the substrate; and an optical fibre attached to the substrate and including a bend, the bend lying in a plane that is non-coincident with the plane of the substrate, wherein the deformation member is disposed between the bend and substrate so that extension and retraction of the substrate changes a radius of curvature of the bend about the deformation member thereby modulating a signal propagated along the optical fibre.
