Revolutionary Photonic Radar System Monitors Breathing Remotely and Accurately
Scientists at the University of Sydney Nano Institute have developed a photonic radar system that can remotely and accurately monitor breathing. The system, which uses light-based photonics technology, allows for non-invasive monitoring of vital signs without physical contact with patients. It has the potential to be used in clinical environments such as hospitals and aged-care facilities, offering enhanced patient comfort and reducing the risk of cross-contamination. The researchers aim to further develop the system for cost-effective, high-resolution, and rapid-response vital sign monitoring, with the possibility of integrating it into handheld devices in the future.
