Rule-based Health Status Evaluation System

In this paper we present a rule-based generic model for health status evaluation. Considering that the physiological measurements are related to the physical activity that the monitored patient performs, the normal threshold ranges can be used for health status evaluation only when the patient is sitting quietly. For the activities with different intensities, different threshold ranges must be considered as normal ranges. Using the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Tasks) score of each physical activity, proposed system automatically extracts the threshold ranges in the form of rules for each monitored vital sign for each physical activity known by the system. The system performance was evaluated using PAMAP2 dataset and showing the promising results.
