  • Publication number: 20240404709
    Abstract: An apparatus detects and measures vital signs of each human target by a continuous, non-intrusive method. In an example, the vital signs of interest include a heart rate and a respiratory rate, which can provide valuable information about the human's wellness. Additionally, the heart rate and respiratory rate can also be used to identify a particular person, if more than two target humans are living in a home. The apparatus has a natural convection spatial flow path that draws heat from at least one processor, one fan-less radar and a heat sink.

  • Publication number: 20240012109
    Abstract: A radar apparatus comprises: a processor; a radar; and a non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the apparatus to perform a method. The method comprises: emitting a radar signal with the radar; receiving backscattered radar signals with the radar; extracting reflection data from the backscattered radar signal; determining at least one vital sign of at least one person from the extracted reflection data; and identifying the at least one person by using a first machine learning model to provide a similarity score between the determined at least one vital sign and at least one vital sign from previously collected vital signs of the at least one person.
