Abstract
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for monitoring infant respiration during sleep. More specifically, the present invention alerts the caregiver when an infant has ceased to breathe during sleep. The usefulness of such device applies to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and prolonged apnea leading to a life threatening event. One embodiment of a method according to the present invention comprises monitoring the relative level of humidity from an infant respiration and comparing it to the room ambient relative humidity. A determination is made when an infant has stopped breathing once the level of the humidity from the infant breaths approaches the room humidity level. At such time, the present invention provides an alert to the caregiver to allow appropriate actions to be taken in reviving or waking the infant as applicable.
