Contactless monitoring of vital signs of people is an essential tool for the safety of vehicle drivers (trains, cars, trams, planes, etc.) thanks to the collection of real-time information on physiological characteristics.

The DESIS project aims to develop techniques based on the notion of cyclostationnarity of vital signals to obtain information on the heartbeat or breathing of drivers without being dependent on the noise of the targeted application.

The project DESIS is based on the development of a functional system coupled with a data acquisition and processing methodology, enabling real-time analysis and capable of detecting alarming variations in vital signs (abnormal heartbeat or breathing, characteristic peaks in signals…).
