Foams

FOAMS (Fiber-Optic Acousto-Mechanical Sensor) – The FOAMS system is a cost-effective, disposable, and non-invasive point-of-care, vital-sign physiology monitor device that accurately, reliably, and non-intrusively monitors for sleep-disorders physiological conditions. These include breathing patterns, heart rhythms, oxygenation levels, and body movement associated with sleep apnea, insomnia, or other respiratory disorders in infants, children, and adults. The FOAMS system provides seamless patient monitoring of sleep disorder physiology conditions by measuring over time using “Smart-Fabrics” produce in the form of disposable bedsheets or wearable garments, that integrate a distributed array of woven fiber optic sensors suitable for the real-time non-invasive monitoring of basic biomechanical and biochemical physiological parameters over time.
