  • Publication number: 20140163362
    Abstract: A microwave transceiver and feature extraction system is described. This system is adapted for measuring both electrical (ECG-related waveforms) and mechanical activity (heart sound and wall motion) of the heart and vessels, determining which signal features are related to which mechanical properties, and measurement of important hemodynamic parameters such as pressure, flow, and vessel's wall displacement. This system is non-invasive, portable, non-contacting and can remotely collect data at distances of <1 m to several meters that make it a perfect device for telemedicine.

  • Patent number: 7811234
    Abstract: A remote-detection system is provided for monitoring changes in permittivity associated with physiological activity of a subject that is free to move. The system includes a source containing an oscillator configured to illuminate tissue of the subject with an electromagnetic signal beam. The system further includes a receiver configured to receive reflections of the electromagnetic signal beam from the subject. The reflections include amplitude variations indicative of motion of the illuminated tissue and amplitude variations indicative of time dependent variations in the permittivity of the illuminated tissue associated with electrical activity of the subject's heart.
