Abstract
In this seminar, he discussed the place of radar for assisted living. First, the context of assisted living and the urgency to address the problem was described. The second part gave an overview of existing sensing modalities for assisted living and explained why radar is an upcoming preferred modality to address this issue. The third section presents developments in machine learning that helps improve performances in classification, especially with deep learning with a reflection on lessons learned from it. The fourth section introduces vital signs monitoring with radar and medical applications: breathing disorders and sleep stage monitoring. Finally, he concluded with open challenges.
