NOVELDA, innovator of ultra-wideband (UWB) radar sensors, announces it will demonstrate the new multi-target seat occupancy detection function of its NOVELDA X7 UWB In-Cabin Sensor at embedded world 2024.

  Developer and supplier of adaptive smart sensors, Novelda has closed a $15m funding round led by Investinor to further develop and take the XeThru radar sensor technology into high volume applications.

Novelda has announced two new modules – the X4M300 Presence Sensor for occupancy sensing and the X4M200 Respiration Sensor for non-contact respiration and vital-sign monitoring. Both modules benefit from improvements made by Novelda in the performance, integration and functional capability of its ultra-wideband impulse radar SoC design.

Novelda announced the XeThru Developer Platform for sensing applications based on its second-generation X4 UWB impulse radar SoC. With this technology, OEMs and system developers can easily implement sophisticated sensors that can detect small movements, determine presence and room occupancy, and monitor respiration and other human vital signs with unprecedented accuracy and discrimination.

Novelda announced a further $12M funding round to take its XeThru vital signs and true presence sensors into high volume production. 
Novelda is providing advanced contactless sensor technology for a range of vital signs applications including: baby monitors, sleep monitoring systems, respiration rate monitors, elderly care, and similar fitness, health, welfare and lifestyle products.
