Summary

This issue tracks the implementation of contactless vital sign detection (breathing rate and heart rate) from WiFi Channel State Information (CSI) and the RVF container format for single-file trained model deployment. These capabilities are defined in ADR-021 and ADR-023.

WiFi CSI captures fine-grained multipath propagation changes caused by physiological movements -- chest displacement from respiration (1-5 mm amplitude, 0.1-0.5 Hz) and body surface displacement from cardiac activity (0.1-0.5 mm, 0.8-2.0 Hz). This extends the project from occupancy sensing into health monitoring, enabling contactless respiratory rate and heart rate estimation for eldercare, sleep monitoring, disaster survivor detection, and clinical triage.

Features

Heart Rate 40-120 BPM (0.8-2.0 Hz) Bandpass filter + FFT peak detection on CSI phase
Sampling Rate 20 Hz ESP32 CSI frame rate
Confidence Scoring 0.0-1.0 Spectral coherence + SNR-based quality assessment
Motion Artifact Rejection Automatic DVS event-based gating during large body movements

Anomaly Detection z-score, CUSUM, EMA Biomarker-stream pattern from rvdna DNA example

Performance Targets

Metric Target Notes
Vital sign extraction latency <50ms per frame At 20 Hz ESP32 frame rate
Breathing rate accuracy +/- 1 BPM Validated against reference sensor
Heart rate accuracy +/- 5 BPM WiFi cardiac signal is weaker than respiration
RVF load time (Layer A) <5ms Entry points only, instant startup
RVF full load time <5s Complete model with HNSW index
DensePose inference <50ms per frame With ruvector-sparse-inference
SONA adaptation <0.05ms Micro-LoRA parameter update

Training Data Strategy

Three-tier approach:

  1. Pre-train on MM-Fi and Wi-Pose public datasets for cross-environment generalization
  2. Fine-tune with ESP32 self-collected data using camera-based teacher model for pseudo-labels
  3. SONA runtime adaptation via micro-LoRA + EWC++ for continuous on-device learning without catastrophic forgetting
