Recent advances in Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology, integrated circuits, and wireless communication have allowed the realization of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). WBANs promise unobtrusive ambulatory health monitoring for a long period of time and provide real-time updates of the patient’s status to the physician. They are widely used for ubiquitous healthcare, entertai...

Recently, a number of projects have been undertaken to collect continuous behavioral data from elderly individuals using unobtrusive inhome sensors. An important challenge facing these projects is the development of approaches for interpreting these data. One approach, based on statistical process control, is to model each individual’s behavior as a random process whose mean and variance may ch...

Unobtrusive Authentication Using ACTIvity-Related and Soft BIOmetrics (ACTIBIO) is an EU Specific Targeted Research Project (STREP) where new types of biometrics are combined with state-of-the-art unobtrusive technologies in order to enhance security in a wide spectrum of applications. The project aims to develop a modular, robust, multimodal biometrics security authentication and monitoring sy...

An i~J!Jas designed to assess the reference outcome in terms of patron report of success. It was theorized that patrons were capable of separating reports of success in finding what was wanted from reports of general overall satisfaction, if given a suitably constructed instrument. Utilized in design were Cronbach 's theories on response set and Cuadra's theories on the fail-safe reaction. A su...

This paper reports the design, development and evaluation of a technological framework for learning applications, named AmI Playfield, aimed at creating challenging learning conditions through play and entertainment. AmI Playfield is an educative Ambient Intelligent (AmI) environment which emphasizes the use of kinesthetic and collaborative technology in a natural playful learning context and e...

Stress assessment is a complex issue and numerous studies have examined factors that influence stress in working environments. Research shown monitoring individuals' behaviour parameters during daily life can also help assess levels. In this study, we examine of work-related using features derived from sensors smartphones. particular, use information physical activity levels, location, social-i...
