Abstract

Recent research has looked to implement real-time contactless sensing within a healthcare application which can pro-vide monitoring of vulnerable people living at home. Currently systems make use of wearable devices to achieve this but this requires users to always be wearing devices. This paper presents a real-time contactless system which makes use of radio frequency signal propagation to determine if a person is sitting or standing. This is achieved by observing incoming channel state information to detect movements and passing detected movements to an AI model that can predict sitting or standing motions from changes the signal amplitude described in the channel state information. The system is able to make accurate real-time classifications in multiple environments.
