Field notes

Notes from the workshop.

We are building a sensor that watches a room without watching the person in it. This is where we will write about what we learn — about radar, about silence, and about the engineering tradeoffs that decide whether a fall gets detected at 2 AM.

Coming soon

  • How a single mmWave radar measures heartbeat without touching skin.
  • The privacy budget of an ambient sensor: what we record, what we discard, and why.
  • Designing alerts that don’t cry wolf — false positives are how a monitor loses trust.
  • Why we chose ESP32 over a Raspberry Pi for the bedside unit.
  • What we learned the first night we left the prototype running in a real bedroom.

Posts begin shortly. To read them when they go live, you can join the early-access list.
