Researchers at the University of Glasgow have developed an innovative radar system capable of accurately measuring heart rate without any physical contact

This breakthrough could revolutionise health monitoring, providing a seamless, non-invasive solution for tracking vital signs.

“These advances could help provide clinicians with round-the-clock monitoring of their patients without the use of invasive or uncomfortable wearable sensors, and strengthen infection control measures in cases where patients have a communicable illness.

Professor Muhammad Imran, Head of Glasgow University’s Communications, Sensing and Imaging Hub, and a co-author of the paper said:

“This paper shows that radar can be used to monitor heart sounds with remarkable precision, which could make it invaluable for use in clinical settings and at home in the future”

Imagine the possibilities—from remote patient care to continuous health monitoring without discomfort or invasive devices.
