Why the study?
Most medical instruments measuring human heart activities rely on contact electrodes, causing discomfort and limiting application scenarios, while remote acquisition of bioelectrical cardiac signals is theoretically challenging.
Does a remote Doppler cardiogram (DCG) using a radar sensor accurately detect human heart activities compared to standard ECG?

May enable contactless cardiac timing assessment where electrodes are impractical; leaves open prospective validation against ECG.
Does a remote Doppler cardiogram (DCG) using a radar sensor accurately detect human heart activities compared to standard ECG?
A novel remote radar sensor can detect Doppler cardiograms with timing information equivalent to ECGs, offering a contactless alternative for cardiac monitoring in scenarios where contact electrodes are impractical.
