Abstract: A novel system based on a robust grid of standard low-cost Polymer Optical Fibres has been created which efficiently detects varying 2-dimensional pressure profiles at high speed. Unobtrusive body movement detection in bed is demonstrated with 25 profiles/s using an easy to manufacture 16×8 grid.
