Activity classification using 3-axis accelerometer and pulse oximeter wearing on wrist for the elderly
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose new criteria to classify daily life activities using accelerometer and pulse oximeter. As a result, once the device decides in emergence, it sends a short message to server and then connected to the u-Healthcare center or emergency center and one’s family.

Examination of Different Accelerometer Cut-Points for Assessing Sedentary Behaviors in Children
BACKGROUND Public health research on sedentary behavior (SB) in youth has heavily relied on accelerometers. However, it has been limited by the lack of consensus on the most accurate accelerometer cut-points as well as by unknown effects caused by accelerometer position (wrist vs. hip) and output (single axis vs. multiple axes). The present study systematically evaluates classification accuracy...
متن کاملCorrelation between new activity-based balance index with accelerometer data and postural balance in elderly woman
Stability and balance in the elderly are measured using several methods. The purpose of this study was to introduce a new activity based balance index using accelerometer and determine the relationship between this index and postural stability in older woman. Materials and Methods: Ninty-two elderly women were selected and participated in this study. For measuring balanace, One Leg Stance, Berg...
متن کاملA random forest classifier for the prediction of energy expenditure and type of physical activity from wrist and hip accelerometers.
Wrist accelerometers are being used in population level surveillance of physical activity (PA) but more research is needed to evaluate their validity for correctly classifying types of PA behavior and predicting energy expenditure (EE). In this study we compare accelerometers worn on the wrist and hip, and the added value of heart rate (HR) data, for predicting PA type and EE using machine lear...
متن کاملStanding Handball Throwing Velocity Estimation with a Single Wrist-Mounted Inertial Sensor
Background. It is well known that overarm throwing is one of the most performed activities in the handball. Shoulder and glenohumeral injuries incidence are high in handball because of both pass, and shooting activity was executed repeatedly in high angular speed. Objectives. This study set out to investigate the usefulness of inexpensive commercial inertial movement sensors for prediction of ...
متن کاملA Three-Wavelength Pulse Oximeter for Carboxyhemoglobin Determination
Pulse oximetry measures the relative concentration of arterial oxygenated hemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin. This paper presents the design of a pulse oximeter, which measures the presence of a third substance, carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO), by unfiltered LEDs at 660 nm, 810 nm, and 940 nm. Background information is given on the theory of pulse oximetry. Theoretical approximations and calculations w...
