The disclosure herein generally relates to the field of determination of cardiopulmonary signals for multi-persons, and, more particularly, to determination of cardiopulmonary signals for multi-persons using in-body signals obtained by ultra-wide band (UWB) radar. The disclosed method determines of cardiopulmonary signals for multi-persons using in-body signals, wherein a UWB radar signals/waves reflected from inside a human body is utilized for efficient determination of cardiopulmonary signals. The disclosed method and system utilize the UWB radar signals to identify a number of persons along with several details about the persons that include a girth of the each identified person and the orientation of the identified person towards the one or more UWB radar. Further a chest wall distance, a breathing rate, a heart wall distance and a heart rate are determined for all the identified persons based on the identified girth and the identified orientation along with the UWB radar signals.

System and Methods for Screening Obstructive Sleep Apnea During Wakefulness Using Anthropometric Information and Tracheal Breathing Sounds
