Abstract：Non-contact detection technology for physiological signals is an emerging technology developed in recent years. Because there is no need for sensors or electrodes used to contact to human body, this technology can provide an unrestraint detection condition. Therefore it has some special application prospects. In this paper, non-contact optical and ultrasonic detection technology are introduced, especially the bioradar detection technology with its research actuality and its trend of future development. The application prospects of non-contact detection technology for physiological signals are also given at the end of this paper.
