Abstract

Use of mobile sensor-based platforms for human monitoring is an ever-growing area of research. These system are able to provide objective, quantitative measurements over a time period without being restricted to a clinical settings. However, these platforms also face some challenges in terms of wearability. Wearability concerns force sensor nodes to decrease in size and employ wireless communication. Both of these constraints pose a serious design challenge for realistic applications. In this paper, we present a variety of sensing platforms from inertial tracking with an accelerometer system to emotion recognition with a large set of physiological sensors. We aim to show that body sensor network's properties and design patterns can be useful not only in a traditional accelerometer based system applications, but also in applications that are better suited with other sensor modalities.
