‘Radar stethoscope’ could improve contactless health monitoring technology
Published: 8 November 2024
UofG researchers led the development of the new system which uses radar to track patients’ heart sounds like a doctor uses a stethoscope. It improves significantly on previous methods of measuring heart rate using radar waves, which take readings from measurements of patients’ chest movements. In a new paper published in IEEE Journal of Biomedical & Health Informatics, the team demonstrate how they used advanced signal processing techniques to isolate and measure the heart sounds of volunteers
