Kyoto and Panasonic are developing a new technology that allows for remote measuring of a user's pulse in real time, with data gathered using millimeter-wave radar, which is processed using an algorithm designed to isolate the subject's heartbeat, cutting out interference caused by other signals sent out by the body, such as breathing. The company says it has already begun testing its system on patients at hospitals around Japan.

This would do away with having to wear a physical sensor, such as a chest strap, and make it less stressful for users.
