Radar-Based Safety Monitoring System

The Radar Light is a lighting fixture comprising radar, LED illumination, and an external wireless communication unit. By capturing and analyzing reflected waves using its built-in radar, it can detect and alert caregivers to events such as the patient sitting up, getting out of bed, or falling. The Radar Light enables non-contact measurement and is ceiling-mounted, allowing continuous monitoring without disrupting the patient's normal daily activities.

Product Features

Feature 1: Since it is built into the LED lighting fixtures installed on the ceiling, it avoids the discomfort of being monitored compared to cameras, protecting privacy.
Feature 2: Radar embedded within the LED lighting fixture measures changes in distance and movement relative to the user, detecting sudden posture changes like falls or crouching. This enables non-contact measurement. (Unlike conventional sensors, there is no need to clamp or attach anything to the body.)
Feature 3: It can send emergency notifications to mobile devices like iPads, enabling continuous 24-hour monitoring of the caregiver's condition from anywhere.

Technical Features

Feature 1: 24GHz Radar: Size 12mm x 7mm, CMOS Process, World's First, Detection Range: Approx. 0-4m, Detection Angle: 160 degrees (Covers an area equivalent to an 8-tatami room with one unit)
Feature 2: Supports 2ch CW Mode, FSK CW Mode, FMCW Mode
　　　Distance measurement (multiple targets simultaneously), micro-displacement measurement (±3mm: breath detection), and differential detection for clear target acquisition Feature 3: Built-in WebServer, Database, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth. Viewable via smartphone or tablet over network.
