    摘要: System and method for contactless vascular flow measurement are provided. Herein, a measurement circuit emits a radio frequency (RF) waveform toward a human peripheral body part and measures micro-vessel motion in an area of interest of the human peripheral body part based on reflections of the RF waveform. Accordingly, the measurement circuit can extrapolate vascular flow information in the human peripheral body part based on the measured micro-vessel motion. In a non-limiting example, the measurement circuit can detect inner organ vibrations to measure pulse rate, strength, and/or pressure caused by radial arterial blood flow changes at the human peripheral body part. By detecting and measuring the vascular flow via the RF waveform, the vascular flow measurement system provides a non-invasive approach to detect and/or prevent peripheral artery diseases. Further, the measurement circuit emits a very low power, non-ionizing RF waveform to help minimize potential health risks to a human body.

    摘要: The invention provides a fetal position monitoring system, comprising an abdominal belt or a glove comprising a force and/or deformation sensor arrangement for obtaining resistance information of a plurality of local areas of the abdomen in response to an applied pressure. A data analysis processor interprets the resistance information to derive a fetal position and/or fetal size and optionally also fetal movement and an output is provided giving a representation of the fetal position and/or fetal size and optionally also fetal movement.
    This system provides a way of generating an output of the fetal position or size which requires minimum medical knowledge of the user, and it may be used at home.
