Patent number: 8583206Abstract: The invention refers to a sensor arrangement with at least one sensor and a method for monitoring physiological parameters of a person, a textile fabric and a use of a textile fabric. An sensor arrangement is described that is suited to improve signal quality and suppress noise, for instance in remote capacitive sensing of body parameters. To achieve this, certain textile fabrics are used, preferably integrated into textile used in a bed, e.g. the blanket, the bed cover, or the mattress. These textile fabrics allow for a suppression of electromagnetic interference from external sources and can be arranged to avoid charge build-up during measurements, in particular those caused by movements of the person.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2008Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Andreas Brauers, Alexander Douglas, Harald Reiter, Xavier Aubert

Patent number: 8529457Abstract: This invention relates to a system and a kit for stress and relaxation management. A cardiac activity sensor (101) is used for measuring the heart rate variability (HRV) signal of the user and a respiration sensor (102) for measuring the respiratory signal of the user. The system contains a user interaction device (103) having an input unit (104) for receiving user specific data and an output unit for providing information output to the user. A processor (106) is used to assess the stress level of the user by determining a user related stress index. The processor is also used to monitor the user during a relaxation exercise by means of determining a relaxation index based on the measured HRV and respiratory signals, the relaxation index being continuously adapted to the incoming measured signals and based thereon the processor instructs the output unit to provide the user with biofeedback and support messages.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2009Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Sandrine Magali Laure Devot, Andreas Brauers, Elke Naujokat, Robert Pinter, Harald Reiter, Jeroen Adrianus Johannes Thijs
