Hardware Lead — Radar-Based AI Health Monitoring

At KuboCare, I lead hardware design for privacy-first, radar-based ambient health monitoring systems that protect seniors 24/7 — without wearables or cameras. Our millimeter-wave radar operates at just 1-10 mW (less than 1% of Wi-Fi power), delivering contactless vital sign tracking, fall detection, and sleep monitoring with FDA/FCC-approved components.

Fall Detection & Prevention

Real-time fall detection with gait analysis, pre-fall alerts, and context classification to minimize false alarms.

Vital Signs Monitoring

Non-contact heart rate and respiratory rate tracking through ambient radar sensing.

Sleep Insights

Bed entry/exit monitoring, REM/deep/light sleep stages, toss-and-turn tracking, and restless night detection.

Activity Monitoring

Daily rhythm mapping, behavior shift detection, and inactivity flagging for proactive care.

Environmental Sensing

Air quality index, temperature, humidity, and light exposure tracking for optimal living conditions.

Two-Way Communication

Built-in microphone and speaker enabling direct audio communication between seniors and caregivers.
