Our experimental campaign shows how a real-time location system based on Ultra Wide Band (UWB) impulses can be fruitfully used to collect cinematic parameters in order to define the health status of an athlete objectively. The Ubisense UWB system has been used to monitor the performance of a professional athlete during the recovering time after a surgery. The cinematic data has been processed in order...
Heart rate monitoring has been a significant topic of interest in the areas of healthcare, sports and gaming. Compared to locations such as the neck, ear, or chest, the wrist is a convenient measurement point, as the measurement technology can be integrated into a wristwatch. However, key technical challenges exist, namely a small physiological SNR and large disturbances due to motion artifact. This...
In this paper, we propose to provide a better way to monitor one's cardiac health status given today's array of exercise monitors. Built on top of our existing MobiCare technology and using an adaptation of the Fox and Haskell formula for exercise, we have set up an exercise monitor on the mobile phone that will help an individual achieve a certain goal that he or she wants from doing exercise. It...
Body Sensor Networks (BSNs) are increasingly being used in pervasive sensing environments including healthcare, sports, wellbeing, and gaming. Activity segmentation using BSN is challenging and the use of manual annotation is subjective and error prone. In this paper, we investigate a semi-supervised activity segmentation method using a Multiple Eigenspace (MES) technique based on Principal Components...
