Abstract

This paper provides an insight into the non-contact vital parameter measurements, especially the heart rate of a person from a short distance. The increasing demand to new developments in healthcare technologies poses inevitability to the thought of easing the patient monitoring in a non-invasive and unobtrusive manner. Patients, who are in need of regular checkups, find the existing modes of electrode-based and probe-based monitoring, a discomfort. To make the monitoring environment comfortable for the patients and to take the results in a continuous and rapid manner, the non-contact heart rate measurement comes as a boon to the healthcare sector. This paper deals with miniaturized radar-based non-contact heart rate measurement using hand gestures in a precise manner. Though there were lots of methods proposed for contactless measurements, this approach comes with better accuracy and ease of handling.
