Reports of animals and children trapped in sweltering cars have become a common occurrence during hot spells, and now scientists have developed a sensor that could save lives.

The device works by triggering an alarm when youngsters or pets are left alone in vehicles.

The sensor, developed by researchers at the University of Waterloo in Canada, combines radar technology with artificial intelligence to detect unattended children or animals.

Researchers say it does this with 100 per cent accuracy.

Toronto: Researchers from the University of Waterloo, Canada, have developed a new device which combines radar technology with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to detect unattended children or animals with a 100 per cent accuracy.

Small enough to fit in the palm of a hand at just 3nm in diameter, the device is designed to be attached to a vehicle's rear-view mirror or mounted on the ceiling.

A small, inexpensive sensor could save lives by triggering an alarm when children or pets are left alone in vehicles.

The new device, developed by researchers at the University of Waterloo, combines radar technology with artificial intelligence (AI) to detect unattended children or animals with 100-per-cent accuracy.

Small enough to fit in the palm of a hand at just three centimeters in diameter, the device is designed to be attached to a vehicle's rear-view mirror or mounted on the ceiling.

A newly developed small, low-cost artificial intelligence (AI) enabled sensor may help save children or pets left alone in vehicles by triggering an alarm, scientists said on Monday.

The device combines radar technology with AI to detect unattended children or animals with 100-per-cent accuracy, according to the researchers at the University of Waterloo in Canada.

The device, which is small enough to fit in the palm of a hand at just three centimetres in diameter, is designed to be attached to a vehicle’s rear-view mirror or mounted on the ceiling, they said.

Advancing healthcare through innovative technology

Medical devices can be used to diagnose or prevent disease, they can improve a patient’s quality of life and they often save lives. Devices such as pacemakers have been around since the late 1950s, but advancements in med-tech have come a long way since then. As research expands and technology advances, a multitude of medical devices are being developed and prepared for market.

The science of sleep medicine is rapidly expanding. Now, a new innovation could mark a major leap forward in the field.

Scientists at the University of Waterloo, Canada, have developed a new wireless monitoring device that uses low-level radar to track a patient’s breathing and heart rate without the need for wires or sensors.

Diabetes management is slowly moving away from needles, finger sticks, and insulin pumps that intrude on a person’s life. Now, researchers from the University of Waterloo have developed a novel combination of radar and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to help people manage diabetes more effectively and detect changes in glucose levels without having to traumatically poke the skin or draw blood.

TORONTO: Scientists have combined radar and artificial intelligence technologies to detect changes in glucose levels, an advance that may help diabetics monitor their blood sugar without painful finger pricks several times a day.
