To assist clinical profession for further diagnosis, patients are usually ordered to do additional examinations in the outpatient clinic process. However, patients are easily to get lost for a visit due to the complex environment and poor wayfinding in the hospital. In this work, the smartphone-based localization system is developed using inertial sensors and light sensor. The proposed positioning...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the majority of chronic lower limb musculoskeletal conditions, affecting approximately 15% of the population. Rehabilitation exercise has been considered as a common and essential medical treatment for mild to moderate stages of knee OA. However, there are some issues and challenges should be tackled while OA patient performs rehabilitation exercise without supervision...
Stroke is the primary cause of serious long-term disability in the world. A long period of a rehabilitation program is required for those patients with the function loss of upper limb motor. In order to track the progression of the rehabilitation, the approaches to assessment of upper limb performance is the important task to evaluate the effectiveness of therapies. However, the typical assessment...
In order to improve healthcare services and support clinical professionals, it is important to develop the unobstructive and automatic ADLs monitoring system for healthcare applications. Currently, various works have been developed for the monitoring of daily activities, such as ambulation, kitchen task, food and fluid intake, dressing, and medication intake while only few works paid attention to...
Falls are the primary cause of accidents for the elderly in living environment. Falls frequently cause fatal and non-fatal injuries that are associated with a large amount of medical costs. Reduction hazards in living environment and doing exercise for training balance and muscle are the common strategies for fall prevention.

Rehabilitation exercise is one of the most important parts in knee osteoarthritis therapy. A good rehabilitation monitoring method provides physiotherapists with performance metrics that are greatly helpful in recovery progress. One of the main difficulties of monitoring and analysis is performing accurate online segmentation of motion sections due to the high degree of freedom (DoF) of human motion...
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the most common treatment for late stage of osteoarthritis, with high successful rate. However, we still need a comprehensive and continuous rehabilitation monitoring tools to validate in-hospital and in-home rehabilitation process. We proposed a mobile sensors system to objectively measure the flexion/extension...
