WIRELESS PYRO/PIEZO SENSOR BASE STATION
This document discusses, among other things, an apparatus and method for receiving biomedical data of a patient. Biomedical data of the patient can be wirelessly received using a wireless sensor base station including a transceiver to receive the biomedical data from a wireless sleep sensor. A demultiplexer of the wireless sensor base station can separate respiration information from the biomedical data. Examples include providing the biomedical data to a polysomnograph (PSG) machine or a sleep therapy device using an output of the wireless sensor base station.
