<h3>Automotive</h3>
<p>mmWave sensing can be used inside vehicles to improve driver and passenger safety and comfort functions.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> Notable advantages of using mmWave technology in vehicles revolve around its capability to operate effectively in spaces with low-lighting and limited visibility. mmWave sensing can penetrate materials like plastic, textiles, and glass, making it a contactless.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a>
</p><p>Recent applications for automotive mmWave sensing include:
</p>
<ul><li>Occupancy detection</li>
<li>Child presence detection (CPD) <a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a></li>
<li>Seatbelt reminders</li>
<li>Optimized airbag deployment</li>
<li>Monitoring of driver vital signs<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a></li></ul>
<h3>Assisted Living and Elderly Care</h3>
<p>mmWave sensing can be used in homes and <a href="/facts/Nursing_home/mdB3nWJ4">nursing homes</a> to assist seniors, individuals <a href="/facts/Aging_in_place/Dh6V8j9t">aging in place</a>, and caregivers. Using mmWave technology is non-intrusive as it does not use cameras or microphones for its applications, and does not require patients to use <a href="/facts/Wearable_technology/HBSY4P0x">wearable devices</a> for tracking.
</p><p>Use-cases in assisted living and elderly care include:
</p>
<ul><li>Fall detection</li>
<li>Posture detection</li>
<li>Occupancy detection</li>
<li>Vital signs monitoring<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10"><sup>10</sup></a></li></ul>
<h3>Smart Home</h3>
<p>Integrated within applications for presence and occupancy detection, mmWave sensing can be applied to the smart home to enable home automations without requiring wearable technology or cameras.
Applications include:
</p>
<ul><li>Water level detection of toilets<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11"><sup>11</sup></a></li>
<li>Sleep apnea tracking <a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12"><sup>12</sup></a></li>
<li>Smart lighting control <a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13"><sup>13</sup></a></li></ul>
<h3>Other</h3>
<p>Other applications for mmWave sensing include pet monitoring, where the technology can be used to track and monitor animal vital signs to interpret pet emotions.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14"><sup>14</sup></a>
