Contactless Vital Signs Monitoring

Abstract

This text appears to be relevant from the title and related advertising material. The book consists of 14 chapters: an introductory chapter, seven chapters dealing with camera-based monitoring, and six chapters that cover wireless sensor-based monitoring. The text was edited by two editors and is the product of some 30 contributors. The book does a reasonable overview of the material. It will likely be useful to electrical and biomedical students interested in the field as it relates to undergraduate instrumentation courses, and to graduate students interested in the development of patient monitoring systems. The text could use a more detailed listing of available equipment for the topics covered, as well as a cost of equipment discussion. One item missing from the text, however, is any discussion of the use of terahertz signal generation and uses, current and potential.
