Abstract:
Microwave biomedical radar has achieved significant advancements, enabling transformative applications in home healthcare. Unlike conventional medical instruments that rely on contact electrodes and cause discomfort, this non-invasive technology offers unique advantages for continuous home-based monitoring. The presentation will first detail hardware innovations, particularly radar miniaturization, accuracy enhancement, and sensitivity optimization—critical for deploying portable devices in residential settings. It will then explore specialized RF processing and machine learning techniques for interpreting physiological data from radar signals. Finally, the talk will highlight breakthrough applications in home health management, demonstrating the technology’s potential to revolutionize remote patient monitoring, elderly fall detection, and chronic disease tracking for proactive home care.
