Non-invasive respiration detection methods are of great value to healthcare applications and disease diagnosis with their advantages of minimizing the patient’s physical burden and lessen the requirement of active cooperation of the subject. This method avoids extra preparations, reduces environmental constraints, and strengthens the possibility of real-time respiratory detection.

Objective: Parkinsonian gait is a defining feature of Shaking Palsy (SP) and it has one of the worse impact on human healthy life than other SP symptoms. The objective of this work is to propose a Parkinsonian gait detection system based on an S-band perception technique to classify abnormal gait and normal walking.

A non-intrusive sleep apnea detection system using a C-Band channel sensing technique is proposed to monitor sleep apnea syndrome in real time. The system utilizes perturbations of RF signals to differentiate between patient’s breathing under normal and sleep apnea conditions.

Essential tremor (ET) is a neurological disorder characterized by rhythmic, involuntary shaking of a part or parts of the body. The most common tremor is seen in the hands/arms and fingers. This paper presents an evaluation of ETs monitoring based on finger-to-nose test measurement as captured by small wireless devices working in shortwave or S-band frequency range. The acquired signals in terms of amplitude and phase information are used to detect a tremor in the hands.

Fluorescence Molecular Tomography (FMT) enables three-dimensional (3D) visualization as well as quantitative analysis of tumors in small animals in vivo…
