Human activity recognition is important for healthcare and lifestyle evaluation. In this paper, a novel method for activity recognition by jointly considering motion sensor data recorded by wearable smart watches and image data captured by RGB-Depth (RGB-D) cameras is presented. A normalized cross correlation based mapping method is implemented to establish association between motion sensor dat...

Smart watches are increasingly being used in various applications to monitor heart rate for exercise and health care purposes. It is crucial that the readings from these devices are accurate so that users can take proper actions according to the intensity of the heart rate. Taking actions from inaccurate readings can negatively impact the health of the user. In this work, we run a preliminary s...

Numerous accelerometers are being extensively used in the recognition of simple ambulatory activities. Using wearable sensors for activity recognition is the latest topic of interest in smart home research. We use an Actigraph watch with an embedded accelerometer sensor to recognize real-life activities done in a home. Real-life activities include the set of Activities of Daily Living (ADL). AD...

Interacting with a smart watch requires a fair amount of attention, which can disrupt a user’s primary activity. While single-handed gestures have been developed for other platforms, they are cumbersome to perform with a watch. A simple interaction is needed that can be used to quickly and subtly access the watch at the user’s convenience. In this paper, we developed Twist 'n' Knock—a one-hande...

Wearable devices, e.g. smart-watches, are gaining popularity in many fields and in wellness monitoring too. In this paper we propose an IoT application to alert the medical doctor assigned to a critical unit by using a smart-watch. The wearable device improves the efficacy of monitoring patients at risk in hospital units allowing the medical doctor to access information at any time and from any...

With the development of modern technology, wearable technology has become more and popular in actual college English listening speaking teaching mode. Wearable devices, as name suggests, are smart electronic products that can be worn on human body, such glasses, watches, rings clothing. Smart watches ordinary very different from devices. devices give us a intelligent technological experience. b...
