An interesting application of CW radar - http://hforsten.com/heartbeat-detection-with-radar.html

At 45 years old I feel like I've learned quite a bit, but when I read stuff like this I wonder if there are enough years left in my life to learn what to takes to put something like this together.

I will say that the little CW doppler radar boards are fun to tinker with. You can get them on amazon for <$10 shipped, power them with 5 volts and just wire the output to a microphone jack.
