mmWave Sensor Fall Detection and Sleep C1001 60GHz

The C1001 from DFRobot is a 60 GHz radar module with built-in evaluation for fall detection, presence and sleep monitoring. It delivers finished results such as fall, lying without movement, breathing and heart rate, without capturing camera images. A controller such as ESP32, Arduino UNO or micro:bit reads the data via UART; two pins signal presence and fall directly as a level.

Important: According to DFRobot, the C1001 is not a certified medical device and is not intended for diagnosis or therapy.

Recommended Accessories:

• Dupont Jumper Cable Set 20cm 60 Pieces.

Features:

• Fall detection with point cloud evaluation, reports fall, time without movement and lying
• Detection up to 11 m with ceiling mounting at 2.7 m height (DFRobot)
• Sleep mode: presence, movement, breathing and heart rate, sleep score
• Breathing and heart rate at 0.4 to 1.5 m distance to the chest
• Fall and sleep mode need different mounting and settings (ceiling or side, wiki)
• UART plus level outputs IO1 (fall) and IO2 (presence) at 3.3 V
• DFRobot_HumanDetection library for Arduino IDE

Application Examples:

• Fall alert in the flat, bathroom or room without a camera
• Recording sleep with breathing and heart rate
• Detecting presence in rooms
• Projects with ESP32 and notification to the smartphone
