Abstract

User daily activity monitoring is useful for physicians in geriatrics and rehabilitation as a indicator of user health and mobility. Real time activities recognition by means of a processing node including a triaxial accelerometer sensor situated in the user's chest is the main goal for the presented experimental work. A two-phases procedure implementing features extraction from the raw signal and SVM-based classification has been designed for real time monitoring. The designed procedure showed an overall accuracy of 92% when recogninzing experimentation performed in daily conditions.
