Non-Contact Analysis of Health-Informatics via Observable Metrics (NAHOM)


Our team continued the work of Dr. Ying Zhang to develop a non-contact vital signs monitoring system. The scope of our project included sampling the signal generated from the radio-frequency circuits developed by previous teams, sending that data to a computer in real time, and performing digital signal processing on the signal to extract heart rate and breathing rate. This project would be helpful for burn victims, in-home monitoring for patients with a risk of a heart attack, and for areas where a risk of transmitting infection through contact with shared equipment is high.


We are honored to have been judged as the first place Electrical and Computer Engineering project for the Spring 2018 Capstone Design Expo. You can read more about our project in the Final Project Summary, Final Presentation, and Final Written Report documents given below.
