Abstract: Various implementations of the invention relate to a silicon-embedded multi-spectral lidar system and method for non-invasive, remote monitoring of pathological conditions of an individual. The system integrates multiple laser sources, photodetectors, and a processing module onto a silicon chip, enabling the capture and analysis of spatial, spectral, scattering and temporal data from a target subject (e.g., individual). By utilizing lidar signals at various wavelengths, various implementations of the invention detect three-dimensional (“3D”) surface and subsurface features such as micro-movements, vascular patterns, pigmentation changes, and tissue differences and/or irregularities. Machine learning algorithms process this information from the lidar to identify and classify abnormalities, enabling applications such as heart rate and respiration monitoring, eye movement tracking for neurological and mental health assessment, and detection of pathological skin conditions like cancer.
