Using Cloud-assisted Body Area Networks to Track People Physical Activity in Mobility
Journal Title: EAI Endorsed Transactions on Cloud Systems - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
This paper describes a novel BSN-based integrated system for detecting, monitoring, and securely recording human physical activities using wearable sensors, a personal mobile device, and a Cloud-computing infrastructure supported by the BodyCloud platform. An integration with a smart-wheelchair system is also presented. BSNs are a key enabling technology for the revolution of personal-health services and their integration with Cloud infrastructure can effectively supports the diffusion of such services in our daily life. Many of these personal-health systems - regardless of their final aim - are based, use or are supported by contextual information on user's physical activity (body posture, movement or action) being performed. This work, hence, aims at providing a basic physical activity service that is capable of supporting personal, mobile-Health applications with real-time activity recognition and labeling both on the personal mobile device and on the Cloud.
