WMO: Unseen Insights: Radar and the Future of Human Sensing

Presentation Abstract
The rapid advances in radar technology, along with AI and machine learning, are unlocking unseen insights into human behavior, health, and security. In “Unseen Insights: Radar and the Future of Human Sensing,” we explore how radar is reshaping the future of human sensing. From monitoring vital-signs such as heart rate, breathing rate, glucose levels, and blood pressure to enhancing human security, radar’s ability to detect minute physiological and behavioral details without contact signals a new era where human sensing becomes more intelligent, seamless, and highly adaptable. This workshop will dive into how radar, coupled with AI, is set to revolutionize key industries, from healthcare to automotive, by offering transformative, real-time solutions to monitor and understand human activity in ways previously unimaginable. As radar technology continues to evolve, it is poised to redefine how we interact with our surroundings. Whether it is enhancing in-home health monitoring, improving security systems, creating safer autonomous vehicles, or becoming part of the next wave of AR/VR and smart home devices, radar is offering a window into the unseen. By capturing the subtlest of signals — heartbeat, breathing rate, glucose, blood pressure — radar has the potential to make environments more responsive, healthcare more proactive, and safety systems more robust. This workshop will highlight these groundbreaking developments, featuring insights from industry leaders, cutting-edge startups, and academic experts, all shaping the future of radar-powered human sensing.
