Reimagining Health Monitoring using Applied Electromagnetics
July 9 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
Advances in radar sensing, electromagnetics-based digital twins, and physics-aware artificial intelligence are opening new frontiers in healthcare innovation, especially for remote regions with limited medical infrastructure. This talk reviews developments in practical, low-cost systems using mmWave radar for contactless monitoring of glucose monitoring, vital signs, falls, sleep, and daily activities. These solutions are privacy-preserving and scalable, making them ideal for both rural clinics and urban homes. In the presented demos, we showcase how the choice of antenna designs plays an important role alongside enhanced signal processing algorithms in interpreting radar signals to detect subtle health changes, from early signs of frailty to abnormal breathing. We also explore select benefits of electromagnetics-based digital twins that model device placements, integrated antenna architectures, and human-radar interaction, accelerating product development <a href="http://cycles.
