Detecting Irregular Patterns in IoT Streaming Data for Fall Detection
Detecting patterns in real time streaming data has been an interesting and
challenging data analytics problem. With the proliferation of a variety of
sensor devices, real-time analytics of data from the Internet of Things (IoT)
to learn regular and irregular patterns has become an important machine
learning problem to enable predictive analytics for automated notification and
decision support. In this work, we address the problem of learning an irregular
human activity pattern, fall, from streaming IoT data from wearable sensors. We
present a deep neural network model for detecting fall based on accelerometer
data giving 98.75 percent accuracy using an online physical activity monitoring
dataset called "MobiAct", which was published by Vavoulas et al. The initial
model was developed using IBM Watson studio and then later transferred and
deployed on IBM Cloud with the streaming analytics service supported by IBM
Streams for monitoring real-time IoT data. We also present the systems
architecture of the real-time fall detection framework that we intend to use
with mbientlabs wearable health monitoring sensors for real time patient
monitoring at retirement homes or rehabilitation clinics.Comment: 7 page
Medical data processing and analysis for remote health and activities monitoring
Recent developments in sensor technology, wearable computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and wireless communication have given rise to research in ubiquitous healthcare and remote monitoring of human\u2019s health and activities. Health monitoring systems involve processing and analysis of data retrieved from smartphones, smart watches, smart bracelets, as well as various sensors and wearable devices. Such systems enable continuous monitoring of patients psychological and health conditions by sensing and transmitting measurements such as heart rate, electrocardiogram, body temperature, respiratory rate, chest sounds, or blood pressure. Pervasive healthcare, as a relevant application domain in this context, aims at revolutionizing the delivery of medical services through a medical assistive environment and facilitates the independent living of patients. In this chapter, we discuss (1) data collection, fusion, ownership and privacy issues; (2) models, technologies and solutions for medical data processing and analysis; (3) big medical data analytics for remote health monitoring; (4) research challenges and opportunities in medical data analytics; (5) examples of case studies and practical solutions
