Sensor Technology for Unsupervised Monitoring of Real World Activities

Rapid advancement of technologies in the area of sensors, ultralow power embedded systems with wireless communications, enables the rapid development of the wearable sensors. In this paper, we are discussing about the development of self-designed low-cost wearable sensor for continuous monitoring of human and sports activities. Developed prototype offers unobtrusive, inexpensive and unsupervised monitoring of activities for longer durations of the period. Unsupervised monitoring is crucial component in the areas of health care for patient rehabilitation, sport activities for player movement etc., The wearable sensor was developed by designing a custom hardware using inertial sensors and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) SoC.
