CONCLUSION
In this paper, we have presented a sleep monitoring system
using a single chest strapped accelerometer, which can identify
not only the four common sleeping positions, but also cardiorespiratory rates. Detailed subject studies demonstrate the
practical value of the system and the potential of the system
for routine home-based monitoring.
