By using an adapted Wi-Fi router and a few wireless devices in the living room, users could control their electronics and household appliances from any room in the home with a simple gesture. “This is repurposing wireless signals that already exist in new ways,” said lead researcher Shyam Gollakota, a UW assistant professor of computer science and engineering. “You can actually use wireless for gesture recognition without needing to deploy more sensors.” ...[/i] [b]related but older-[/b] Using WiFi to see through walls http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/133936-using-wifi-to-see-through-walls Seeing Through Walls With a Wireless Router http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2012-07/seeing-through-walls-wireless-router [i]Breathe Easy: It’s possible to detect a person’s breathing rate by surrounding him with radio waves. Neal Patwari’s wireless engineering group at the University of Utah designed a network of 20 inexpensive radio transmitters that are placed around a patient’s bed. Then they created an algorithm that detects a stationary person’s breaths better than current detectors do. Patwari plans to upgrade the algorithm by the end of the year to filter out body movements too. The system could someday be used in hospitals in place of tubes and masks.[/i] [img]http://www.popsci.com/files/imagecache/article_image_large/articles/breathe%20easy.jpg[/img] [/quote] Thanks for adding [/quote]

Wireless Sensor Networks - provide real-time data collection and analysis and are being deployed everywhere!!
In homes to detect "mental stability"
Empath: a Continuous Remote Emotional Health Monitoring System for Depressive Illness
This product can aid in detecting the early signs of depression and can provide information about the effectiveness of any treatment.
1. Sleep Monitoring
2. Weight Monitoring
3. Speech analysis
4. Activity Detection
a. Home Occupancy and Movement Level
b. Activities of Daily Living
"we presented Empath, a continuous monitoring system for the home that can collect continuous objective and self-report measurements concerning mood and factors linked to depression."
