We study methods to estimate drivers' posture in vehicles using acceleration data of wearable sensor and conduct field tests. To prevent fatal accidents, demands for safety management of bus and taxi are high. However, acceleration of…

Many users are confronted multiple times daily with the choice of whether to take the stairs or the elevator. Whereas taking the stairs could be beneficial for cardiovascular health and wellness, taking the elevator might be more convenient…

1) Objectives Most foot ulcers are the consequence of a trauma (repetitive high stress, ill-fitting footwear, or an object inside the shoe) associated to diabetes. They are often followed by amputation and shorten life expectancy. This…

Mobile phones are becoming increasingly advanced and the latest ones are equipped with many diverse and powerful sensors. These sensors can be used to study different position and orientation of the phone which can help smartphone…

Hand pose tracking is essential for advancing applications in human-computer interaction. Current approaches, such as vision-based systems and wearable devices, face limitations in portability, usability, and practicality. We present a…

We present an IoT-based intelligent bed sensor system that collects and analyses respiration-associated signals for unobtrusive monitoring in the home, hospitals and care units. A contactless device is used, which contains four load sensors…

Timely and reliable detection of falls is a large and rapidly growing field of research due to the medical and financial demand of caring for a constantly growing elderly population. Within the past 2 decades, the availability of…

This paper presents an experimental evaluation on the accuracy of indoor localisation. The research was carried out as part of a European Union project targeting the creation of ICT solutions for older adult care. Current expectation is…

Walking is one of the most common modes of terrestrial locomotion for humans. Walking is essential for humans to perform most kinds of daily activities. When a person walks, there is a pattern in it, and it is known as gait. Gait analysis…

Wearable medical technology has become increasingly popular in recent years. One function of wearable health devices is stress detection, which relies on sensor inputs to determine the mental state of patients. This continuous, real-time…

Recent studies have focused on developing advanced assistive devices to help blind or visually impaired people. Navigation is challenging for this community; however, developing a simple yet reliable navigation system is still an unmet…

Recent advancements in energy-efficient hardware technology is driving the exponential growth we are experiencing in the Internet of Things (IoT) space, with more pervasive computations being performed near to data generation sources. A…

Get-Up-and-Go Test is commonly used for assessing the physical mobility of the elderly by physicians. This paper presents a method for automatic analysis and classification of human gait in the Get-Up-and-Go Test using a Microsoft Kinect…

Mental fatigue is a leading cause of motor vehicle accidents, medical errors, loss of workplace productivity, and student disengagements in e-learning environment. Development of sensors and systems that can reliably track mental fatigue…

Real-time object pose estimation and tracking is challenging but essential for emerging augmented reality (AR) applications. In general, state-of-the-art methods address this problem using deep neural networks which indeed yield…

Monitoring fatigue is essential for improving safety, particularly for people who work long shifts or in high-demand workplaces. The development of wearable technologies, such as fitness trackers and smartwatches, has made it possible to…

This paper describes a novel approach in human robot interaction driven by ergonomics. With a clear focus on optimising ergonomics, the approach proposed here continuously observes a human user's posture and by invoking appropriate…

Ensuring stable object placement is crucial to prevent objects from toppling over, breaking, or causing spills. When an object makes initial contact to a surface, and some force is exerted, the moment of rotation caused by the instability…

Computer mice have their displacement sensors in various locations (center, front, and rear). However, there has been little research into the effects of sensor position or on engineering approaches to exploit it. This paper first discusses…

A stability chamber is essential for pharmaceutical facilities to test the stability and quality of products over time by exposing them to different environmental conditions. This paper introduces an IoT-enabled stability chamber designed…
