Based on mmWave technology, Sensor IT’s Vital Sign Monitor is a highly sensitive, non-invasive device designed to capture and analyze vital signs such as breathing rate, heartbeat, and sleep quality. The device uses radar technology, which operates in the 30 GHz to 300 GHz frequency range. This technology allows for precise measurement of minute chest movements and other physiological signals, even through clothing and bedding, making it ideal for continuous monitoring during sleep.
Key Features
Breathing Rate Detection
The mmWave radar continuously scans the chest area, detecting the subtle expansion and contraction movements associated with breathing. It can distinguish between inhalation and exhalation, providing real-time respiratory rate data.
Heartbeat Monitoring
The device measures the micro-vibrations of the chest caused by heartbeats. By analyzing these vibrations, it accurately determines the heart rate, even during periods of movement or varying sleep stages.
Sleep Quality Evaluation
The monitor evaluates sleep quality by analyzing breathing patterns, heart rate variability, and body movements. It can distinguish between different sleep stages (e.g., light sleep, deep sleep, REM) based on the consistency and variability of these vital signs.
It also tracks sleep interruptions, such as apnea episodes, and restless movements, offering insights into overall sleep health.
Non-Invasive and Contactless
The mmWave radar is contactless, meaning it doesn’t require any physical contact with the body. This is especially beneficial for monitoring without disturbing the sleeper, unlike traditional methods that might involve wearable devices or electrodes.
High Precision and Sensitivity
The mmWave technology provides high-resolution data, capable of detecting even the smallest changes in vital signs. This precision allows for early detection of irregularities in breathing or heartbeat that could indicate health issues.
Integration with Smart Systems
The device can be integrated with smart home systems, enabling it to work alongside other health-monitoring tools. Data can be sent to a connected app or healthcare provider for real-time monitoring and analysis.
User-Friendly Interface
The monitor is equipped with a user-friendly interface that displays real-time data and trends. It can provide daily, weekly, or monthly reports on vital signs and sleep quality, helping users track their health over time.
Applications
Home Health Monitoring
Ideal for individuals who need to monitor their heart rate, breathing, and sleep quality regularly without wearing uncomfortable devices.
Sleep Studies
Useful in clinical settings or at home for monitoring patients with sleep disorders, offering detailed insights into sleep patterns and potential disruptions.
Elderly Care
A game changer for elderly patients who require continuous monitoring, providing alerts in case of irregular breathing or heart rate patterns.
These devices are wholly manufactured in-house by Sensor IT as we value creating sustainable and innovative solutions from the ground up. We intend to deploy them in the long run in public healthcare facilities.
