Abstract: An abnormal respiration detection apparatus includes a sensor for sensing a PPG signal from an optical signal reflected and received from a user's body; a band pass filter for extracting a signal of a required band from the PPG signal; an analog-to-digital converter for performing a digital conversion on the filtered PPG signal; and an abnormal respiration recognition unit deriving a respiration rate signal from the digital-converted PPG signal, deriving a plurality of respiration rate characteristic values through a time axis analysis on the derived respiration rate signal, and detecting an abnormal respiration using the derived plurality of respiration rate characteristic values. The embodiments can be utilized to monitor the survival of elders who live alone, soldiers isolated in a military operation, persons isolated in disaster and accident sites, thereby contributing to public and social safety and building of welfare society and nation.

Abstract: A sleep state determination method using biometric and motion information includes acquiring motion information of a user using a motion sensor; determining a primary sleep state of the user based on the acquired motion information; acquiring biometric information of the user using a biometric sensor when the primary sleep state is determined; and determining a final sleep state of the user by combining the acquired biometric information and the primary sleep state.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining a respiration state on the basis of a plurality of biological indicators calculated using bio-signals. The method for determining a respiration state on the basis of a plurality of biological indicators calculated using bio-signals includes collecting a photoplethysmography (PPG) signal measured by a PPG sensor and a cutaneous electric signal measured by an electrodermal activity (EDA) sensor; analyzing the collected PPG signal and cutaneous electric signal and calculating a plurality of biological indicators including a respiration rate; and comprehensively evaluating the plurality of biological indicators to determine a user's respiration state.

Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and method for detecting dementia and providing a dementia patient management service.
