Dementia Scale Score Classification Based on Daily Activities Using Multiple Sensors

Classification of Daily Activities for the Elderly Using Wearable Sensors

Monitoring of activities of daily living (ADL) using wearable sensors can provide an objective indication of the activity levels or restrictions experienced by patients or elderly. The current study presented a two-sensor ADL classification method designed and tested specifically with elderly subjects. Ten healthy elderly were involved in a laboratory testing with 6 types of daily activities. T...

Estimating IDF based on daily precipitation using temporal scale model

The intensity –duration –frequency (IDF) curves play most important role in watershed management, flood control and hydraulic design of structures. Conventional method for calculating the IDF curves needs hourly rainfall data in different durations which is not extensively available in many regions. Instead 24-hour precipitation statistics were measured in most rain-gauge stations. In this stud...

Continuous Recognition of Daily Activities from Multiple Heterogeneous Sensors

Recognition of daily activities is the key to providing contextaware services in an intelligent home. This research explores the problem of activity recognition, given diverse data from multiple heterogeneous sensors and without prior knowledge about the start and end of each activity. This paper presents our approaching to continuous recognition of daily activities as a sequence labeling probl...

Validity and Reliability of the Persian Version of Lawton Instru-mental Activities of Daily Living Scale in Patients with Dementia

Assessment of activities of daily living in dementia: development of the Bristol Activities of Daily Living Scale.

A new assessment of Activities of Daily Living has been developed specifically for use with people with dementia. The assessment is a carer rated instrument consisting of 20 daily-living abilities. The scale has 'face validity', assessing items rated as important by and using levels of ability generated by carers. It has 'construct' validity as demonstrated by principal components analysis. It ...
