ViRa24 - Vital sign radar

Overview

Conventional radar systems are not suitable for measuring vital signs in particular, or provide unsatisfactory data quality.

ViRa24 is the radar system developed for high-precision measurement of vital signs. These include pulse, respiration and heart sounds. The latter in particular are of high medical relevance, as they allow particularly accurate measurement of the inter-beat intervals (elapsed time between successive heartbeats). These can also be used to make statements about the stress level or diseases of the autonomic nervous system.

The system was designed in such a way that it can be easily connected to an edge computing device (Nvidia Jetson Nano, Raspberry Pi, Google Coral…). This allows AI algorithms to be tested directly on the corresponding computing unit on the system. The extremely high-quality data is the result of years of research and development work.

Hardware

ViRa24 is unparalleled and unique in its features:

  • Designed for convenient communication with edge computing devices
  • Plug-and-play USB data interface and software package
  • Highly accurate non-contact detection of vital signs including medically highly relevant heart sounds from up to 1 m distance
  • Radar technology proven in clinical studies
  • Synchronous references can be connected (up to 4 analog inputs and a jack plug for e.g. a 2- or 3-channel ECG)
  • RoHs conformity, CE marking and conformity with the relevant radio regulations

Evaluation software

The system is delivered with a graphical user interface with open
source code for evaluation. This comprises the following features:

  • Real-time visualization
    • of the radar raw data
    • of the unprocessed displacement data
    • of respiration and pulse motion
    • of the heart sounds
    • of the signal spectrum
    • analog reference sensors
  • Adjustable filters and amplification
  • Logging of all raw data
  • Automatic offset compensation

The supplied evaluation software makes it easier for our customers to start analyzing the raw data. It therefore serves as the basis for developing their own algorithms for customer-specific applications. We also offer support with algorithm development and AI-based real-time algorithms for evaluating the measurement data.
