This paper is the Final report for the Final Year Project (FYP) of the ‘Respiratory Bioelectronics Measurement for Infant’. The purpose of this report is to summarize the entire project progress, tasks that have completed as well as the results obtained and identified potential problems that occurred in this year. First, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden unexplained death of a child less than one year of age. SIDS usually occurs when the infant is sleeping. Moreover, there is usually no evidence of the infants struggling and crying. Thus, it is very hard for parents to determine whether their baby is sleeping safely. Hence, the main objective of this study is to implement a Bioelectronics respiratory device to monitor the respiratory rate of the infants. Signals will be sent from the Accelerometer through the movement of the diaphragm and alarm will be sounded to alert the surrounding when the breathing rate of the infant is abnormal.
