Noninvasive Physiological Measurement

"Dr. Lin is a pioneer in noninvasive, non-contact microwave sensing of vital signs. His works and vision inspire many in the field. There is no one better than him to write this review book. This book contains history, principles and clinical applications. It will give a clear overview of the technologies. It will be an excellent beginner book for engineers and students who try to understand microwave vital sign sensing technologies.

This book provides a broad, comprehensive, yet concise overview of noninvasive and noncontact sensing of vital signs using microwave techniques. It offers a wealth of inspiration, empowering engineers to channel their expertise into the realm of modern medicine. Healthcare practitioners will gain invaluable insights into the array of possibilities for groundbreaking clinical applications. Serving as a bridge, this book connects the microwave and medical communities, fostering a synergy that holds immense promise for the future of healthcare." - J.-C. Chiao, Southern Methodist University

"The book details very well the history, development, and future trend of noninvasive physiological measurement based on wireless microwave technologies. As a researcher who has been following the author's pioneering research, I believe the book has presented the author's unique and comprehensive view about this exciting area. The book systematically covered all relevant topics including, but not limited to, noncontact respiratory measurement, microwave cardiography, arterial pulse wave detection, blood pressure monitoring, and sensing of tissue volume change and redistribution. In particular, I enjoyed reading pioneering investigations in conjunction with advanced topics and contemporary applications. I am sure the book will be a valuable resource for many researchers and practitioners in the field." - Changzhi Li, Texas Tech University

"This book has rich contents covering the research and development of noninvasive physiological sensing using microwave radar technologies. Chapter 2 provides a comprehensive review on the history of the pioneering work from 1970s to 2000. The stories put together by the author Prof. James Lin, the very first pioneer who inspired many other researchers to work on this subject, are very interesting to read. Other chapters cover the fundamental theory and the techniques developed over the past two decades. It is a comprehensive reference book that should be useful to readers interested in this subject." - Jenshan Lin, Professor Emeritus, University of Florida
