Article Synopsis
- Radar-based technology could be useful in monitoring heart and lung functions, but the impact of gender on recording quality hasn't been studied before.
- This research analyzed a dataset of heart sound signals from both male and female subjects, revealing that males had better signal quality compared to females based on reference signal-to-noise ratio (RSNR).
- The study emphasizes the need to address these gender differences in signal quality to improve the effectiveness of radar-based monitoring devices for long-term patient care.
