Robust Physiological Signal Extraction using High Precision Hardware and Personalized Signal Processing

本研究的目的是使准确的心脏信号提取多普勒雷达。 该方法是开发高精度硬件和数据驱动的解决方案，用于提取和解释使用多普勒雷达获得的生理数据。 这项工作的主要动机是对健康参数的非侵入性监测的需求日益增长，以及军事和国家安全应用。关于智力价值，这项合作研究涉及夏威夷大学马诺阿分校的工程和医学系，旨在实现非接触式多普勒雷达生理传感的高水平的鲁棒性和可靠性。 该项目建立在研究人员过去在多普勒心脏传感和非侵入性心脏病学方面的工作基础上。就更广泛的影响而言，该项目有可能产生有价值的工具，可以在医疗保健、应急响应、军事和安全行动等领域造福社会。 该项目为历史上一直得不到当地教育和工业机会的各种少数民族学生提供了一个激励性的教育机会。 该项目的一个重要方面是工程专业学生与医学合作顾问的互动。 在这个项目中建立的伙伴关系，使工程专业的学生和教师，以补充工程资源的利用医学院的专业知识和设施的大学。 参与该项目的学生也有机会参加K-12外展活动。

The objective of this research is to enable accurate heart signal extraction using Doppler radar. The approach is to develop high-precision hardware and data-driven solutions for extracting and interpreting physiological data obtained using Doppler radar. The primary motivation for this work is a growing need for non-invasive monitoring of health parameters, as well as military and national security applications.With respect to intellectual merit, this collaborative research involving engineering and medical faculty at the University of Hawaii at Manoa seeks to achieve a high level of robustness and reliability in non-contact Doppler radar physiological sensing. The project builds on the investigators' past work on Doppler heart sensing and non-invasive cardiology.With respect to broader impact, this project has the potential to result in valuable tools that can benefit society in the areas of health care, emergency response, military, and security operations. This project presents a motivating educational opportunity for a diverse population of minority students that have been historically underserved by local educational and industrial opportunities. An important aspect of this project is the interaction of engineering students with the medical co-advisor. The partnership established in this project allows engineering students and faculty to complement College of Engineering resources by leveraging medical school expertise and facilities. Students involved in this project also have an opportunity to participate in K-12 outreach activities.
