Strategies for fall risk assessment are currently not multifactorial neither implemented as a regular assessment of health status in clinics or hospital. The reason could be related with a lack of an easy to implement, complete and objective test to assess elderly's fall risk level. More recently, inertial wearable sensors have been used in combination with standard tests to evaluate the performance...
Quantifying the energy expended during physical activity is an important metric to evaluate the quality and progress of individual training. There are several methods to estimate the energy expenditure using accelerometers, the most common are based on calculating counts per minute from the accelerometer signal to determinate the activity intensity in terms of metabolic equivalents (METs). This paper...
Monitoring physical activity and energy expenditure is important for maintaining adequate activity levels with an impact in health and well-being. This paper presents a smartphone based method for classification of inactive postures and physical activities including the calculation of energy expenditure. The implemented solution considers two different positions for the smartphone, the user's pocket...
