Recently, demand for continuous and non-invasive ways to track health has grown, mainly due to more telehealth and an older population. The research group created a system that uses mm Wave RF sensors to measure vital signs including respiratory and heart rates without making direct contact. Millimeter-wave RF technology is able to detect very small movements on the human body surface resulting from bodily functions. The system functions as it should even when factors like motion or change of patient posture affect the output of the sensors. A signal processing algorithm is used to help ensure accurate detection of vital signs, no matter if there is noise or interference. Simulating and testing this mmWave RF method confirm it allows for monitoring heart and respiration rate with over 93% accuracy, fast reactions, and better protection against common interference. This study proves that mmWave RF sensors are a reliable and scalable option for monitoring health both at clinics and at home.
