Falls are one of the most important problems for frail and elderly people living independently. Early detection of falls is vital to provide a safe and active lifestyle for elderly. In this paper, signals produced by sound and passive infrared (PIR) sensors are simultaneously analyzed to detect suddenly falling elderly people. A typical room in a supportive home can be equipped with sound and PIR sensors. Hidden Markov models are trained for regular and unusual activities of an elderly person and a pet for each sensor signal. Decisions of HMMs can be fused together to reach a final decision.

Multi-Point Single-Antenna Sensing Enabled by Wireless Nested Split-Ring Resonator Sensors
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)In this paper, simultaneous multi-point wireless sensing is proposed and demonstrated via multiple sensors in nested split-ring resonator (NSRR) geometry coupled to a single illuminator antenna. In this passive multi-point ... -
Activity recognition invariant to sensor orientation with wearable motion sensors
(MDPI AG, 2017)Most activity recognition studies that employ wearable sensors assume that the sensors are attached at pre-determined positions and orientations that do not change over time. Since this is not the case in practice, it is ... -
Automated evaluation of physical therapy exercises using multi-template dynamic time warping on wearable sensor signals
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2014)We develop an autonomous system to detect and evaluate physical therapy exercises using wearable motion sensors. We propose the multi-template multi-match dynamic time warping (MTMM-DTW) algorithm as a natural extension ...
