Abstract

Many medical systems monitor individuals in daily life but often require patients to wear devices, which can be uncomfortable and impractical for long-term use. A contactless approach to vital sign monitoring is, therefore, more desirable. Our team has developed an innovative Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) FMCW radar system capable of detecting vital signs and supporting various other applications. We demonstrated that this radar-based sensor effectively monitors respiration in real-world settings with stationary targets. Comparisons with ground truth data for a single user, in both the time and frequency domains against ECG ground truth, show that our radar system achieves 100% higher accuracy in measuring breathing rates (BPM).
