Non-contact sensors monitor patient heartbeats from a meter away
13:29 July 1, 2010
When rest is important to a patient, being rigged up to a heart monitor or disrupted whilst they sleep and having a cold stethoscope placed on their chest isn’t ideal. To get around this problem, a team of scientists at the University of Sussex, UK have successfully developed sensors that are able to detect a heartbeat up to a meter away. The Electric Potential Sensors (EPS) are the world’s first electrical sensors able to monitor heartbeats accurately whilst patients relax in their bed, or rest at home. This breakthrough device gives medical teams and health workers the chance to administer patient-friendly monitoring with minimum impact on mobility or personal space. Read More

Its a good post. In remote sensing
, information transfer is accomplished by use of electromagnetic radiation (EMR). Through remote sensing spectral, spatial, and temporal information about material objects, area, or phenomenon is acquired. Without direct physical contact with the objects, or area, or phenomenon under investigation, some means of transferring information through space is utilised.
thanks for sharing the valuable information
