Improving Noninvasive Monitoring in Medical Care

Early detection of non-uniformities and abnormalities in human body behavior could save lives and might diminish health care assurance expenses. The range of monitored parameters is wide, from respiratory and cardio parameters survey to early cancer detection. Due to invasive methods important drawbacks, researchers are looking for new non-invasive methods. The is presenting new approaches, combining different physical methods, compared to the existent monitoring techniques, usually used in medical care. Our approach concerns studies of using microwave Doppler effect for the contactless detection of the cardiac and respiratory activity, for the continuous respiratory and cardiac monitoring. We are also describing a microwave body emission radiometry method in abnormal tissue increased activity detection.
