In WiFi signals can measure heart rate
037·Jun 30, 2024
The “Vital Sign Detection & Healthcare”[1] section is very interesting, thank you! I am looking for a way to measure the heartbeat of a single person in a completely non-invasive manner (so without contact) and I see that it can be done with Wi-Fi (2019 Paper [2]). However, I’ve noticed that there are a lot of methods (video analysis, thermal camera, etc.), but they are hard to find as ready-made products at a reasonable price. The simplest solution is under-mattress sleep trackers, but unfortunately they are not an option for me. 1. https://github.com/Marsrocky/Awesome-WiFi-CSI-Sensing#vital-... 2. https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.05108
