KYOCERA DEVELOPS NEW "CONTACTLESS INTELLIGENT MILLIMETER-WAVE SENSING SYSTEM"
IoT sensor enables the detection of minute mechanical vibrations for wireless, non-contact identification of human heartbeat, respiratory fluctuations, and more.
Contactless intelligent Millimeter-Wave Sensing System (Prototype)
Kyocera Corporation announced that it has developed a new "contactless intelligent millimeter-wave sensing system". The system is capable of non-contact, high-precision detection of micron-scale vibrations using a millimeter-wave signal, making it possible to accurately detect human heartbeat and respiratory fluctuations, as well as minute vibrations of machines and buildings, wirelessly and remotely.
Features
The system features low-loss millimeter-wave substrates made from Kyocera's proprietary materials, high-precision substrate manufacturing, and advanced statistical signal-processing technology developed for telecommunications equipment.
1. Contactless Detection of Minute Vibrations
Many systems that sense a person's heartbeat or breathing require physical contact, which limits potential applications. To accurately detect minute vibrations with a contactless intelligent millimeter-wave sensor, a main technical challenge has involved improving the sensor's signal-to-noise ratio. Kyocera solved these problems by combining its original materials and signal processing technologies.
2. Accurate Heartbeat Interval Sensing
Kyocera's system enables more accurate measurement of heart rate variability because it can detect chest vibrations caused by a person's heartbeat with high accuracy. In addition to daily healthcare measurement, this technique can also be applied to stress analysis, autonomic analysis, and other applications.
3. AI Solutions and Software Modules for a Variety of Applications
The system's high-precision vibration detection capability not only detects and extracts human heartbeat and breathing, but also motion detection from building vibrations and manufacturing equipment in factories.
Kyocera is also proceeding with R&D into AI technologies that analyze and utilize millimeter-wave sensor data, and aims to provide solutions for a wide variety of applications by combining these technologies with various software modules (add-ons).
Kyocera's Contactless Intelligent Millimeter-Wave Sensor System is not intended to be a stand-alone medical device at this stage.
