Abstract
A safe and simple system for the detection of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is proposed. The system consists of an optoelectronic transceiver and electronic circuits capable of detecting infant breath, heart beating and any other infant movement. The system also includes an active alarm circuit. In case of absence of body activity or breathing, the active alarm will give the infant a mild push in order to awaken him or her. If there is no reaction, an audiovisual alarm is activated. Results obtained from six university students and three new born infants show that the system is capable of detecting apnea and SIDS.
