Abstract:

In this work a biomedical wireless radar sensor network (BWRSN), enabling concurrent fall detection and vital signs monitoring, is presented and described. The proposed architecture is intended for indoor applications as a potential ambient assisted living (AAL) technology. Experimental results, conducted in a real room setting with human subjects, demonstrate the need for a wireless sensor network for the targeted application.
