Wait, so in a building full of wifi signals, you could theoretically detect a body with no heartbeat or breathing and alert someone automatically?


Possibly, better get a startup going


Seriously, you can do this


A more interesting question is who might be already doing this, and could you write a passive receiver for this to utilise ambient signals versus on purpose emitted ones. Considering it's utility in several scenarios, I can see why some money might be invested in developing this capacity without commercialising it.
