Magnetic induction measurements enable contactless monitoring of breathing and heart activity. Since this technique is in the scope of many research groups, there are several research devices available. Most of these devices are suitable for tomography approaches, e.g. edema detection or for monitoring technical processes, such as fluid in tubes or metal blocks. However, these devices are less useable for vital parameter monitoring. In this article, we present an new modular magnetic induction measurement system called MONTOS (Monitoring System) for this scenario. Since the implementation is fully digital, each module can easily be applied to several measurement conditions in vital parameter monitoring, i.e. Multi-Frequency measurement modes, Single-Excitation and Multiple-Measurements or Multiple-Excitation and Single-Measurement. Data output is realized via local area networks (LAN), thereby streaming the data to a monitoring computer. Finally, it will be demonstrated that impedance changes due to breathing of a human adult can be detected.
