Abstract: Doppler radar technology can measure human physiological activity for a wide range of biomedical needs. Compact economical radar systems have been demonstrated as a non-invasive means of measuring vital signs through clothing and bedding, including heart and respiratory rates and signatures, activity, sleep posture, tidal respiratory volume, and pulse pressure. The value of such physiological monitoring extends beyond healthcare for applications including search and rescue, secure authentication, and smart buildings.
This talk will provide an overview of state-of-the-art in Doppler radar physiological monitoring and related applications.
Speaker:
Olga Borić –Lubecke received the B.Sc. degree from the University of Belgrade in 1989, the M.S. degree from Caltech in 1990, and the Ph.D. degree from UCLA in 1995, all in electrical engineering. Since 2003, she has been with the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where she is currently a Professor of electrical engineering. Prior to joining UH, she was with Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies where she pioneered research in biomedical applications of wireless systems.
From 1996 to 1998 she was a visiting researcher at RIKEN, in Sendai, Japan. From 1995 to 1996 she was a resident research associate at
NASA JPL. She has authored over 250 publications, two books, four book chapters, and three patents, and co-founded two start-up companies. Prof. Borić –Lubecke is an IEEE Fellow, a Fulbright Senior Scholar (Malaga, Spain), and a Foreign Member of the Academy of Engineering of Serbia.
