Nighttime blood pressure (BP) is found to best predict the 5-year risk of cardiovascular death in comparison to daytime BP, BP measured over a 24-hour period and clinical BP. In view of this, a novel contactless system has been developed on a sleeping bed for the cuffless and continuous estimation of BP at night. Experiments were conducted on 11 subjects to evaluate the contactless system, particularly its performance compared to a contact system. The results of this study showed that the accuracy of the contactless system to estimate BP by a cuffless approach is comparable to that of the contact system when measured at the same posture. More studies have to be conducted in order to understand the difference of the cuffless BP estimation approach when measuring at supine and sitting postures.

Background And Objectives: In the current global health landscape, there is an increasing demand for rapid and accurate assessment of mental states. Traditional assessment methods typically rely on face-to-face interactions, which are not only time-consuming but also highly subjective. Addressing this issue, this study aims to develop a client-server-based, non-contact multimodal emotion and behavior recognition system to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of mental state assessments.

The standard polygraph, or lie detector, is limited by its reliance on average heart rate, subjective examiner interpretation, and the need for direct subject contact. Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) offers a promising contactless alternative, by using facial videos to extract heart rate variability (HRV). We introduce "LieRHRV," a remote lie detection algorithm based solely on extracted HRV parameters.

They can be continuously monitored through contact or contactless measurements performed in the home or a hospital. In this study, a contactless Doppler radar W-band sensing system was used for short-range, contactless vital sign estimation.
