    Author: Dang X, Zhang J, Hao Z.
    Journal: Sensors (Basel); 2022 Aug 16; 22(16):. PubMed ID: 36015877.
    Abstract:
    With the vigorous development of ubiquitous sensing technology, an increasing number of scholars pay attention to non-contact vital signs (e.g., Respiration Rate (RR) and Heart Rate (HR)) detection for physical health. Since Impulse Radio Ultra-Wide Band (IR-UWB) technology has good characteristics, such as non-invasive, high penetration, accurate ranging, low power, and low cost, it makes the technology more suitable for non-contact vital signs detection. Therefore, a non-contact multi-human vital signs detection method based on IR-UWB radar is proposed in this paper. By using this technique, the realm of multi-target detection is opened up to even more targets for subjects than the more conventional single target. We used an optimized algorithm CIR-SS based on the channel impulse response (CIR) smoothing spline method to solve the problem that existing algorithms cannot effectively separate and extract respiratory and heartbeat signals. Also in our study, the effectiveness of the algorithm was analyzed using the Bland-Altman consistency analysis statistical method with the algorithm's respiratory and heart rate estimation errors of 5.14% and 4.87%, respectively, indicating a high accuracy and precision. The experimental results showed that our proposed method provides a highly accurate, easy-to-implement, and highly robust solution in the field of non-contact multi-person vital signs detection.
