Heart rate variability monitor for infants
l Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the single most common cause of death in infants one year or younger.
l SIDS usually happens when the infant is asleep. The cause of SIDS remains unknown to date.
l Thus, an infant-friendly monitoring system that is capable of detecting an infant’s vital signs would increase the chances of resuscitation should an event occur.
