Abstract

Recently, elder care services, especially for those with chronic diseases, have become an important application in the field of IoT. Several studies have reported that the progress of chronic diseases can be slowed down effectively by moderate physical activities. In this paper, we propose an activity intensity monitoring system to support continuous monitoring of indoor calorie consumption. The system uses wireless signals to infer calorie burned in walking. In the proposed system, Bluetooth smart beacons are deployed in various spaces of a house. The elders who wear smart wristbands are continuously monitored for their locations by received wireless signals. The system has the following features. First, it utilizes wireless signals as location and activity intensity indicators; inertial sensors are only used in the training stage. Second, it is semi-training free and only needs relatively short training time to start using the monitoring services. Finally, the system is map-free, in the sense that it can be easily deployed without constructing the interior map of the house. A prototype system is implemented on a smartphone to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed system.
