Contactless Vital Signs Monitoring

Vital signs, such as heart rate and respiration rate, are essential for health monitoring, but traditional methods require contact-based devices. Contactless Vital Signs Monitoring provides a comprehensive review of using different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum to measure vital signs from the human face and body contactlessly. The book covers various healthcare applications, including patient/neonatal monitoring, sleep centers, fitness cardio training, and driver monitoring, and will be an important educational resource for biomedical researchers, AI healthcare researchers, computer vision researchers, wireless-sensing researchers, doctors/clinicians, physicians/psychologists, and medical equipment manufacturers.

Vital signs, such as heart rate and respiration rate, hold immense importance in health monitoring as they offer valuable physiological insights for medical diagnosis and well-being management. Traditional methods of measuring vital signs often involve the use of biomedical devices, such as capnometers, pulse oximeters, or electrocardiogram sensors, which can be inconvenient, cumbersome, and uncomfortable to wear. Consequently, there exists a pressing need for technologies that enable contact-free, easily deployable, and long-term monitoring of vital signs for healthcare purposes.

Contactless Vital Signs Monitoring presents a comprehensive and detailed examination of the principles, methodologies, and potential applications of utilizing various wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum to measure vital signs from the human face and body without physical contact. This volume brings together esteemed researchers actively engaged in the field to present the most recent advancements in a rigorous and structured manner. It also showcases a wide range of healthcare applications utilizing camera and radio frequency-based monitoring, spanning from clinical care to home care, sport training, and automotive settings, including patient/neonatal monitoring in intensive care units, general wards, emergency department triage, MR/CT cardiac and respiratory gating, sleep centers, baby/elderly care, fitness cardio training, driver monitoring in automotive environments, and more.

This book serves as an invaluable educational resource for biomedical researchers, AI healthcare researchers, computer vision researchers, wireless-sensing researchers, doctors/clinicians, physicians/psychologists, and medical equipment manufacturers. By delving into the latest developments in contactless vital signs monitoring, it provides valuable insights into the future of healthcare and contributes to the advancement of medical science and technology.
