Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for monitoring breathing pattern by monitoring and analyzing data that are the results of pressure changes in an air bed due to amount of air inhaled and exhaled and the chest expansion and contraction of an infant. The changes in pressure over time can be recorder, modeled and sent to be analyzed for fault detection in breathing pattern. As a result the abnormalities in the breathing pattern can be detected and parents and pediatrics can be warned in case of an Apparent Life-Threatening Event (ALTE) to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
