Durable Plug and Play Device for Bed Tele-Monitoring

This paper describes a compact plug and play bed sensor that can detect in-bed/out-of-bed status, bed vibrations, room temperature, room illuminance, and foot movement. All detected data are stored on the cloud server in real time. The proposed system performs all basic tele-monitoring functions. Further, the system is entirely autonomous and can recover from any black outs, communication breakdowns, and computer failures.
