Google Research has developed a new method for measuring heart rate using ultra-wideband (UWB) radar, a technology already present in many mobile devices. This approach leverages transfer learning, adapting models trained on different radar types to accurately detect the subtle chest movements associated with a heartbeat. The research demonstrates that UWB's radar capabilities, previously underutilized for sensing, can be effectively employed for vital sign monitoring, potentially enabling contactless heart rate tracking in everyday electronics.
