Summary
Changes in weights, fluctuations in sedentary behaviors, and daytime somnolence of users can be an early indicator of adverse health events such as depression and worsening heart disease. Devices in the market monitoring these health conditions are mats made up of two conductive fabrics separated by an insulating layer placed under bed sheets or couch pillows. These designs cannot monitor weights and are unreliable. These mat-like devices are intrusive and user often report discomfort. In order to overcome these issues researcher have developed a wireless sensor system which help in measure the weight of user. The system is place under the support of the furniture without any need for modification in furniture. The microprocessor used can be configured remotely without disturbing the user.
