Radar could replace wires: contactless Vital-Sign monitoring tested

NCT ID NCT07677735

First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is developing a patient monitoring system that uses millimeter wave radar to measure heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, and movement without any physical contact. The goal is to create a device that can track vital signs from a distance, which could make hospital monitoring more comfortable and reduce infection risks. The system will first be tested on six healthy volunteers who are also researchers in the study.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
millimeter wave radar-based monitoring device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a contactless way to track vital signs in hospitals, reducing infection risk and improving patient comfort.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small study with only 6 healthy volunteers. The technology may not work accurately in real hospital settings or on patients with different body types.
