Radio-based Sensing for Untethered Activity and Vital Sign Monitoring

Detailed Technology Description

Executive Summary A novel radio-based modality improves the quality of information from wearable monitors while maintaining user privacy. This new technology captures accurate full body motion and respiration with a contact free approach. Description of Technology Current wearable monitors have three main drawbacks: IMUs can not provide full body monitoring with a singular device; microphones and image sensors lack privacy; physiological sensors are intrusive and require tight skin contact. MSU researchers have discovered a method for generating accurate information while preserving confidentiality and comfort. Comprehensive high quality data is gathered with directed radio waves through two devices similar to a smart watch and a smart phone. Key BenefitsAlgorithm can efficiently run on wearable platforms in real-timeMaintains privacy and requires no skin contactIncreased accuracy; decreased interference from ambient environmental RFDoesn’t require a wireless infrastructure; allows for greater freedom and range of use ApplicationsVital sign monitoring Activity monitoring IP Status: Software Copyright Licensing Rights Available: Full licensing rights available Inventors:Dr. Mi Zhang, Mr. BiYi Fang Tech ID: 2017-0002
