The monitoring of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) is a fundamental task to implement a rigorous remote monitoring of weak users with particular regards to falls. Actually, unintentional falls cause a lot of hospitalizations and could produce serious consequence due to long-lie happenings. The widespread use of smartphones associated with the wide variety of embedded sensors would represent a suitable solution for ADL monitoring. This paper faces the development of fully smartphone based ADL detector which uses advanced signal processing to provide useful and reliable information for the efficient implementation of remote elderly monitoring. The developed strategy allows for ADL classification with sensitivity and specificity features in line with real applications in Ambient Assistive Living (AAL) context.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
