Advances in technology have made possible new and innovative methods of health care
delivery. Home telecare, in which the patient's health is monitored remotely at home, is one …

We assessed the feasibility of using a waist-mounted, wireless triaxial accelerometer (TA) to
monitor human movements in an unsupervised home setting to detect changes in functional …

This work was conducted in TIMC laboratory to develop methods able to monitor physical
activities. In the framework of Health Smart Home, the purpose is to maintain and supervise …

A monitoring system for training people to improve posture has been developed. The
prototype system consists of one accelerometer, a low-powered 16-bit microcontroller, RAM …

This paper describes a new classification system for real-time monitoring of physical activity,
which is able to detect body postures (lying, sitting, and standing) and walking speed with …

This study described a niche telemedicine framework for home healthcare. The framework
aims to transmit small but sufficient amounts of data for daily monitoring of residential …

Triaxial accelerometers have been employed to monitor human movements in a variety of
circumstances. It is necessary, however, to be able to extract useful information from the …

This thesis addresses the hypothesis that a single, waist-mounted triaxial accelerometer
(TA) can be used to monitor human movement patterns in unsupervised, freeliving subjects …

A generic framework for the automated classification of human movements using an
accelerometry monitoring system is introduced. The framework was structured around a …

The real-time monitoring of human movement can provide valuable information regarding
an individual's degree of functional ability and general level of activity. This paper presents …
