Contactless Radar Vital Sign Monitoring

In the rapidly advancing field of sensor technology, contactless radar vital sign monitoring is making waves. By using radar to detect minute body vibrations associated with heartbeats and breathing, this technology offers non-invasive, accurate, and versatile applications in both healthcare and industry.

The Technology Behind Contactless Radar

At its core, radar monitoring works by emitting signals and measuring the displacement caused by body surface movements. Sykno’s innovative radar system can detect vibrations as small as tens of micrometres, capturing critical data without physical contact. Positioned beneath a bed, the sensor measures heart and respiratory activity through advanced neural network algorithms, translating raw displacement data into actionable medical insights.

Benefits in Healthcare

One of the most promising applications of this technology is in healthcare, particularly in palliative care and emergency settings. Traditional methods, such as attaching electrodes to patients, can be intrusive and uncomfortable. Radar monitoring, however, provides a non-invasive alternative, ensuring patient comfort while delivering real-time data. In palliative care, this enables medical professionals to monitor health without restricting the patient’s mobility.

In emergency rooms, radar sensors can rapidly identify patients in critical conditions, even when they appear stable, enabling faster intervention.

Expanding into Industrial Applications

Beyond healthcare, contactless radar technology is finding applications in industrial environments. Machines, like human bodies, exhibit vibrations that can indicate operational health. By integrating radar systems into predictive maintenance strategies, companies can monitor machinery for early signs of wear or malfunction, preventing costly breakdowns.
