Microwave biomedical radar has achieved significant advancements, enabling transformative healthcare applications specifically for home-based care. Unlike conventional contact-based instruments that can cause discomfort, this non-invasive technology is ideal for continuous monitoring. This presentation will first detail key hardware innovations—including radar miniaturization, and enhanced accuracy and sensitivity—that are critical for deploying portable devices in residential settings. It will then explore specialized RF processing and AI techniques for extracting medical-grade physiological data from radar signals. Finally, the talk will highlight the technology’s breakthrough healthcare applications, from specific clinical applications like post-operative monitoring to broader home-based management. This includes revolutionizing remote patient monitoring, elderly fall detection, and chronic disease tracking for proactive, comprehensive home care.
