Abstract

Driven by its contactless sensing capabilities and the lack of optical images being recorded, radar technology has been recently investigated in the context of human healthcare. This includes a broad range of applications, such as human activity classification, fall detection, gait and mobility analysis, and monitoring of vital signs such as respiration and heartbeat. In this paper, a review of notable achievements in these areas and open research challenges is provided, showing the potential of radar sensing for human healthcare and assisted living.
