Summary

Traditional life activity detection methods rely on contact sensors, such as the electrocardiogram (ECG), ballistocardiogram (BCG), photoplethysmography (PPG), sphygmomanometer, mercury thermometer, breath belt, and accelerometer-based wearable devices. The contact sensor-based methods can cause physical and psychological discomfort to the users, and some do not support long-term monitoring. Smart wireless sensing of vital signs, including heartbeat, respiration, temperature, and blood pressure, etc. using non-contact sensors is of importance. Non-contact life activity detection methods can improve the user experience and realize long-term monitoring. In this talk, our recent progress on smart non-contact radar-based vital signs for biomedical applications will be introduced in details.
