Description
Summary:In the last years, substantial attention has been paid to the use of radar systems in health monitoring, due to the availability of both low-cost radar devices and computationally efficient algorithms for processing their measurements. In this article, a tutorial overview of radar-based monitoring of vital signs is provided. More specifically, we first focus on the available radar technologies and the signal processing algorithms developed for the estimation of vital signs. Then, we provide some useful guidelines that should be followed in the selection of radar devices for vital sign monitoring and in their use. Finally, we illustrate various specific applications of radar systems to health monitoring and some relevant research trends in this field.
