Abstract :
This work gives an overview about some non-contact methods for monitoring of physiological activity. In particular, the focus is on ballistocardiography, capacitive ECG, Infrared Thermography, Magnetic Impedance Monitroing and Photoplethymographic Imaging. The principles behind the methods are described and an inside into possible medical applications is offered.
