Vayyar makes a single‑chip 3‑D imaging radar that emits radio‑frequency waves to capture depth and motion through clothing, walls, and other non‑transparent materials. The sensor provides touchless vital‑sign monitoring, in‑cabin occupant detection for automotive safety, concealed‑object detection for security, and shopper analytics for retail, consolidating multiple sensing functions into a compact, low‑cost platform.

Problem
Traditional sensing technologies for health monitoring, automotive safety, and security often rely on contact-based devices or bulky equipment, limiting scalability, user comfort, and the ability to detect objects through clothing or other materials.
Solution
Vayyar provides a single-chip imaging radar sensor that emits radio‑frequency waves to generate high‑resolution 3‑D data through solid matter. The sensor operates without contact, enabling continuous monitoring of vital signs, detection of occupants and hazards in vehicle cabins, and identification of concealed weapons or objects in public spaces. By integrating multiple sensing functions onto one compact platform, Vayyar’s technology reduces hardware complexity and cost while delivering real‑time, privacy‑preserving data for a range of applications, from early breast‑cancer screening to retail inventory analytics.
Target Audience
Primary customers include senior‑care facilities and health‑monitoring service providers, automotive OEMs and Tier‑1 suppliers, security agencies and border‑control operators, medical screening centers, and brick‑and‑mortar retailers seeking advanced shopper analytics.
Features
- Single-chip 3‑D imaging radar that captures depth and motion through clothing, walls, and other non‑transparent materials
- Touchless vital‑sign detection (e.g., respiration, heart rate) for senior‑care and medical monitoring
- In‑cabin occupant classification and behavior analysis for automotive ADAS and autonomous‑vehicle safety
- Weapon and contraband detection for border control, public‑space security, and industrial facilities
- Retail shopper flow and inventory monitoring using radar‑based presence and movement analytics
- Scalable hardware design that consolidates multiple sensing modalities, reducing bill‑of‑materials and integration effort
