Heart-rate estimation is a fundamental feature of modern wearable devices. In this paper we propose a machine learning technique to estimate heart-rate from electrocardiogram (ECG) data collected using wearable devices. The novelty of our approach lies in (1) encoding spatio-temporal properties of ECG signals directly into spike train and using this to excite recurrently connected spiking neuro...

In this study, mobile phones, wearable devices, temperature and human motion detectors are integrated as smart sensors for enabling smart air conditioning control. Smart sensors obtain feedback, especially occupants' information, from mobile phones and wearable devices placed on human body. The information can be used to adjust air conditioners in advance according to humans' intentions, in so-...

The use of wearable sensor technology for athlete training monitoring is growing exponentially, but some important measures and related wearable devices have received little attention so far. Respiratory frequency (fR), for example, is emerging as a valuable measurement for training monitoring. Despite the availability of unobtrusive wearable devices measuring fR with relatively good accuracy, ...

Wearable devices monitoring food intake through passive sensing is slowly emerging to complement self-reporting of users’ caloric intake and eating behaviors. Though the ultimate goal for the passive sensing of eating is to become a reliable gold standard in dietary assessment, it is currently showing promise as a means of validating self-report measures. Continuous food-intake monitoring allow...

There is a current trend of wearable sensing with regards to health. Wearable sensors and devices allow us to monitor various aspects of our lives. Through this monitoring, wearable systems can utilise data to positively influence an individual’s overall health and wellbeing. We envisage a future where technology can effectively help us to become fitter and healthier, but the current state of w...

In this paper, we discuss the research topic of precise interaction for Wearable Augmented Reality (AR). Our research focus is towards improving interaction with wearable AR systems to assist in the creation and modification of user contents. We present a set of techniques that supports both the creation and modification of virtual models for outdoor wearable AR. Based on our experience, we dis...

A Wearable Electromyography device includes the advantage of Electromyography (EMG) sensors and provides a wired or wireless human machine interface (HMI) for interacting with computing systems and attached devices associated with electrical signals generated by specific movement of the patient’s muscles. Following initial automated self-calibration and positional localization processes, measur...

Wearable medical and electronic devices demand a similarly wearable electrical power supply. Humanbased piezoelectric energy harvesters may be the solution, but the mismatch between the typical frequencies of human activities and the optimal operating frequencies of piezoelectric generators calls for the implementation of a frequency up-conversion technique. A rotary piezoelectric energy harves...

This minitrack addresses issues organizations face as they seek to provide services to end-users through wearable or autonomous mobile devices using the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) platform. The IoT allows connectivity of billions of mobile devices that can perform physical, sensing, and analytical services to users. Many of these devices exist in physical proximity of the user making up ...
