The purpose of the joint seminar is to bring together researchers from Dutch and Japanese institutions and foster cooperation around the broad topic of contactless sensing and monitoring technologies for human healthcare. Specifically, contactless sensing and monitoring technologies of our interest are based on radar systems employing radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic (EM) waves to measure physiological phenomena of interest related to human healthcare, including but not limited to patterns of activities of daily living, quality of walking gait, tremors in limbs, and vital signs such as respiration, heartbeat, blood pressure and arterial pulse. The attractiveness of RF and radar sensing in this domain comes from its contactless capabilities, whereby the potential patients or fragile people monitored do not need to wear, carry, interact with additional devices, as well as from the lack of optical images or videos that sensing with cameras would instead entail.
