This paper provides an insight into the non-contact vital parameter measurements, especially the heart rate of a person from a short distance. The increasing demand to new developments in healthcare technologies poses inevitability to the thought of easing the patient monitoring in a non-invasive and unobtrusive manner. Patients, who are in need of regular checkups, find the existing modes of electrode-based and probe-based monitoring, a discomfort. To make the monitoring environment comfortable for the patients and to take the results in a continuous and rapid manner, the non-contact heart rate measurement comes as a boon to the healthcare sector. This paper deals with miniaturized radar-based non-contact heart rate measurement using hand gestures in a precise manner. Though there were lots of methods proposed for contactless measurements, this approach comes with better accuracy and ease of handling.

The interest in contactless or remote heart rate measurement has been steadily growing in healthcare and sports applications. Contactless methods involve the utilization of a video camera and image processing algorithms. Recently, deep learning methods have been used to improve the performance of conventional contactless methods for heart rate measurement. After providing a review of the related literature, a comparison of the deep learning methods whose codes are publicly available is conducted in this paper. The public domain UBFC dataset is used to compare the performance of these deep learning methods for heart rate measurement. The results obtained show that the deep learning method PhysNet generates the best heart rate measurement outcome among these methods, with a mean absolute error value of 2.57 beats per minute and a mean square error value of 7.56 beats per minute.

Abstract Videoplethysmography is currently recognized as a promising noninvasive heart rate measurement method advantageous for ubiquitous monitoring of humans in natural living conditions. Although the method is considered for application in several areas including telemedicine, sports and assisted living, its dependence on lighting conditions and camera performance is still not investigated enough. In this paper we report on research of various image acquisition aspects including the lighting spectrum, frame rate and compression. In the experimental part, we recorded five video sequences in various lighting conditions (fluorescent artificial light, dim daylight, infrared light, incandescent light bulb) using a programmable frame rate camera and a pulse oximeter as the reference. For a video sequence-based heart rate measurement we implemented a pulse detection algorithm based on the power spectral density, estimated using Welch’s technique. The results showed that lighting conditions and selected video camera settings including compression and the sampling frequency influence the heart rate detection accuracy. The average heart rate error also varies from 0.35 beats per minute (bpm) for fluorescent light to 6.6 bpm for dim daylight.
