Revolutionary mmWave Radar Sensor for Contactless Sleep Monitoring Gains Traction in the Trillion-Dollar Sleep Health Market

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) affects 176 million people in China. Globally, over 1 billion individuals suffer from sleep apnea, which disrupts sleep, compromises health, and can even be life-threatening.

Although snoring is the predominant symptom of sleep apnea, disease severity varies among individuals. The frequency of apneic episodes can range from as few as 30 to several hundred per night, while the duration of each episode may last from over ten seconds to more than two minutes in severe cases.

Accurate and timely diagnosis of sleep apnea is crucial for effective treatment, making sleep monitoring an important tool.

Millimeter-wave radar sensors offer advantages such as precise sensing and immunity to interference, making them suitable for non-contact vital signs monitoring to assess individuals' health status. With extremely high precision, millimeter-wave radar can detect sub-millimeter-level subtle movements, such as those caused by respiration and heartbeat. More importantly, since millimeter-wave radar does not capture sensitive data like visual images, it is particularly well-suited for use in home environments where privacy concerns are paramount. ThisHigh sensitivity, non-contact, strong anti-interference, and privacy-preservingThe technological roadmap holds broad application prospects in markets such as sleep monitoring.

Infineon, in partnership with Avnet, has applied millimeter-wave radar sensors to fields such as sleep monitoring and home health monitoring, bringing new developments to the industry.
