Abstract
Today's radar locates and tracks aircraft, measures the speed of
fastballs and helps catch “lead foots.” Most radar gather
information from objects. However, researchers at the Georgia Tech
Research Institute (GTRI) are exploring radar's ability to measure
physiological data in humans. The new radar measures tiny movements of
the human body caused by respiration and the beating heart. The Radar
Vital Signs Monitor (RVSM) technology was originally designed for use
during the Olympics to measure the vitals signs of athletes. RVSM
technology, however, has other applications including law enforcement,
telemedicine, heart disease screening, security and disaster
