Evaluating daily life quality is important in ambient intelligence applications targeted for health status monitoring. When we consider the fact that people approximately spend one-third of their lives sleeping, we need to monitor the sleep quality as well as the activities of daily living in order to be able to provide a seamless health monitoring system. In this paper, a seamless activity recognition system that makes use of multi-modal wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and mobile phones is proposed. The proposed system is then used to collect life-log and sleep behavior data from actual users. In the lights of this information, important factors affecting the sleep quality of a person is extracted.

Wireless sensor networks for healthcare: A survey
Alemdar, Hande (2010-10-28)
Becoming mature enough to be used for improving the quality of life, wireless sensor network technologies are considered as one of the key research areas in computer science and healthcare application industries. The pervasive healthcare systems provide rich contextual information and alerting mechanisms against odd conditions with continuous monitoring. This minimizes the need for caregivers and helps the chronically ill and elderly to survive an independent life, besides provides quality care for the babi...
Multimodal Wireless Sensor Network-Based Ambient Assisted Living in Real Homes with Multiple Residents
Tunca, Can; Alemdar, Hande; Ertan, Halil; Incel, Ozlem Durmaz; Ersoy, Cem (MDPI AG, 2014-06-01)
Human activity recognition and behavior monitoring in a home setting using wireless sensor networks (WSNs) provide a great potential for ambient assisted living (AAL) applications, ranging from health and wellbeing monitoring to resource consumption monitoring. However, due to the limitations of the sensor devices, challenges in wireless communication and the challenges in processing large amounts of sensor data in order to recognize complex human activities, WSN-based AAL systems are not effectively integr...
Design of fully integrated milliwatt thermoelectric energy harvesting interface circuit for wireless body sensor networks
Demir, Süleyman Mahircan; Muhtaroğlu, Ali; Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020-9)
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...

Exploiting energy-aware spatial correlation in wireless sensor networks
Shah, Ghalib A.; Bozyigit, Muslim (2007-01-12)
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) promise fine-grain monitoring in a wide variety of applications, which require dense sensor nodes deployment. Due to high density of nodes, spatially redundant or correlated data is generated. Redundancy increases the reliability level of information delivery but increases the energy consumption of the nodes too. Since energy conservation is a key issue for WSNs, therefore, spatial correlation can be exploited to deactivate some of the nodes generating redundant information. ...
