Wearable Sensing Framework for Human Activity Monitoring

Wearable computation is getting integrated into our daily life day by day. In this work, we propose a generic framework to continuously monitor users’ daily activities. The framework proposes light computation tasks on the wearable device to reduce the amount of data communicated between the wearable, and its host. A 9-axis wristbands are being used to collect user’s activities. The collected signals are subject to light weight preprocessing and segmentation on the wearable device prior sending to the host, were it goes through activity detection algorithms. In this paper, we elaborate the feasibility of the proposed framework thru presenting two case studies.
