In this paper, we focus on the human activity recognition module of a homecare system that consists of wireless sensors developed for remotely monitoring patients with cognitive disorders, such as Alzheimer. To this end, as an initial study, we designed a smart couch that is equipped with accelerometer, vibration and force resistive sensors to monitor how much time people spend while sitting, lying or napping on the couch and to recognize the drifts from their daily routines. In order to distinguish these activities, features of the data collected from the sensors is first extracted and then different classifiers, such as k-nearest-neighbor and Naïve Bayes, are applied. The impact of sensor type, feature type and classifier type on the performance of classification is experimented with four test subjects and experiment results reveal that k-nearest-neighbor classifier with maximum, minimum, mean and standard deviation features and accelerometer and force resistive sensors exhibit the best performance with 95% F-measure.

A Graph Based Big Data Model for Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks Küçükkeçeci, Cihan; Yazıcı, Adnan (2016-10-08) Wireless multimedia sensor networks are of interest to researchers from different disciplines and many studies have been proposed in a wide variety of application domains, such as military surveillance systems, environmental monitoring, fault monitoring and distributed smart cameras in the last decade. In a wireless sensor network, a large number of sensors can be deployed to monitor target areas and autonomously collect sensor data. This produces a large amount of raw data that needs to be stored, processe...
Using Wireless Sensor Network Technologies for Elder and Child Care: An Application Architecture Proposal Alemdar, Hande (2009-01-01) For the last decade wireless sensors, especially multi-modal sensor technologies have been developing for supporting healthcare services for elderly and children. The main motivation behind this is the fact that the world's expectations for an average lifetime is getting longer, thus increasing the costs of healthcare. The need for technological support on the subject has led wireless sensor technologies and sophisticated electronics to become within the reach of average users and research effort on the sub...
An Electromagnetic Sensing System Incorporating Multiple Probes and Single Antenna for Wireless Structural Health Monitoring Ozbey, Burak; ALTINTAŞ, AYHAN; DEMİR, Hilmi Volkan; ERTÜRK, VAKUR BEHÇET; Kurç, Özgür (2017-03-24) In this study, a wireless and passive displacement/strain sensing system is proposed for structural health monitoring (SHM). The wireless and passive interrogation of the sensing unit [a variant of a nested split-ring resonator (NSRR)] is achieved through the near-field interaction and electromagnetic coupling between the single antenna in the system and the multiple sensors called the NSRR probes. It is demonstrated that the system can acquire data from more than one NSRR probe simultaneously in a real-lif...
A laterally resonating gravimetric sensor with uniform mass sensitivity and high linearity Eroglu, D.; Bayraktar, E.; Külah, Haluk (2011-09-01) In this paper, a laterally resonating gravimetric sensor with high linearity and uniform mass sensitivity is presented for biochemical sensor applications including rare-cell detection. The sensor utilizes symmetrically placed, balanced, folded spring beam structures to ensure lateral motion of the proof mass and limit the displacement difference between the proof mass center and edges. The dynamic mass sensitivity range of the resonator is increased by using the above mentioned properties of the resonators...
Design of fully ıntegrated milliwatt thermoelectric energy harvesting ınterface circuit for wireless body sensor networks Demir, Süleyman Mahircan; Muhtaroğlu, Ali; Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020-12) Wireless body sensor networks have drawn significant attention for providing out-of-hospital diagnosis and remote abnormality monitoring, which are vitally important for millions of people suffering from chronic diseases. Batteries powering these sensor networks hurt their mobility and longevity due to their bulkiness and down-time during charging or replacement. Therefore, this study focuses on thermoelectric energy harvesting from body heat, and targets eventual replacement of batteries by generating powe...
