Abstract
Non-invasive human vital sign detection has gained significant attention in recent years, with its potential for contactless, long-term monitoring. Advances in radar systems have enabled non-contact detection of human vital signs, emerging as a crucial area of research. The movements of key human organs influence radar signal propagation, offering researchers the opportunity to detect vital signs by analyzing received electromagnetic (EM) signals. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in millimeter-wave (mmWave) sensing for vital sign detection. We explore human anatomy and various measurement methods, including contact and non-contact approaches, and summarize the principles of mmWave radar sensing. To demonstrate how EM signals can be harnessed for vital sign detection, we discuss four mmWave-based vital sign sensing (MVSS) signal models and elaborate on the signal processing chain for MVSS. Additionally, we present an extensive review of deep learning-based MVSS and compare existing studies. Finally, we offer insights into specific applications of MVSS (e.g., biometric authentication) and highlight future research trends in this domain.

Recommendations
Pi-ViMo: Physiology-inspired Robust Vital Sign Monitoring using mmWave Radars
Continuous monitoring of human vital signs using non-contact mmWave radars is attractive due to their ability to penetrate garments and operate under different lighting conditions. Unfortunately, most prior research requires subjects to stay at a fixed ...
RF Vital Sign Sensing under Free Body Movement
Radio frequency (RF) sensors such as radar are instrumental for continuous, contactless sensing of vital signs, especially heart rate (HR) and respiration rate (RR). However, decades of related research mainly focused on static subjects, because the ...
Vital Sign and Sleep Monitoring Using Millimeter Wave
Continuous monitoring of human’s breathing and heart rates is useful in maintaining better health and early detection of many health issues. Designing a technique that can enable contactless and ubiquitous vital sign monitoring is a challenging research ...
