This paper presents the development of a system based on computational intelligence techniques and on an accelerometer to perform, in a comfortable and non-intrusive manner, the recognition of basic movements of a person's routine. The information provided by this system can be directed to support promoting health and well-being of the individual, as well as diagnosing and remote patient monitoring. The system provides an overall success rate in recognition of movements around 93% by using support vector machines for signal classification and Fisher's discriminant ratio to select the most significant features.
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.
