AbstractMonitoring health status at home has garnered increasing interest. Therefore, this study investigated the potential feasibility of using noncontact sensors in actual home settings. We searched PubMed for relevant studies published until February 19, 2024, using the keywords "home-based," "home," "monitoring," "sensor," and "noncontact." The studies included in this review involved the installation of noncontact sensors in actual home settings and the evaluation of their performance for health status monitoring. Among the 3 included studies, 2 monitored respiratory status during sleep and 1 monitored body weight and cardiopulmonary physiology. Measurements such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and body weight obtained with noncontact sensors were compared with the results obtained from polysomnography, polygraphy, and commercial scales. All included studies demonstrated that noncontact sensors produced results comparable to those of standard measurement tools, confirming their excellent capability for biometric measurements. Overall, noncontact sensors have sufficient potential for monitoring health status at home.Copyright © 2024 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
