AAL technologies are already present on the market but there is still a gap to close until they can be used for ordinary patient needs. The general idea needs to be accompanied by new services, which should be brought together in order to provide a full coverage of service for the users. Sleep and stress were chosen as predominant diseases for a detailed study within this project because of their widespread influence in the population. The executed scientific study of available home devices analyzing sleep has provided the necessary to select appropriate devices. The first choice for the project implementation is the device EMFIT QS+. This equipment provides a part of a complete system that a home telemedical hospital can provide at a level of precision and communication with internal and/or external health services.}, language = {en} } @article{SandybekovGrabowGaiduketal., author = {Sandybekov, Maksim and Grabow, Clemens and Gaiduk, Maksym and Seepold, Ralf}, title = {Posture tracking using a machine learning algorithm for a home AAL environment}, series = {Intelligent Decision Technologies 2019, Proceedings of the 11th KES International Conference on Intelligent Decision Technologies (KES-IDT 2019) - Volume 2 ; (Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies ; 143)}, edition = {First online: 2 June 2019}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Singapore}, isbn = {978-981-13-8302-1}, pages = {337 -- 347}, abstract = {The number of home office workers sitting for many hours is increasing.

Posture analysis is realized through machine learning algorithm using a decision tree classifier that is compared to a random forest. Data acquisition and aggregation for the learning process happens with a mobile app adding users biometrical data and the taken sitting posture as label. The sensor chair is able to differentiate between an arched back, a neutral posture or a laid back position taken on the chair.

The algorithm is part of a system suitable for long-term monitoring in a home environment, which should support experts analysing sleep. Approach: As there is a strong correlation between bio-vital signals and sleep stages, multinomial logistic regression was chosen for categorical distribution of sleep stages. Several derived parameters of three signals (respiratory, heart rate and movement) are input for the proposed method. Sleep recordings of five subjects were used for the training of a machine learning model and 30 overnight recordings collected from 30 individuals with about 27 000 epochs of 30 s intervals each were evaluated. Main results: The achieved rate of accuracy is 72\% for Wake, NREM, REM (with Cohen's kappa value 0.67) and 58\% for Wake, Light (N1 and N2), Deep (N3) and REM stages (Cohen's kappa is 0.50). Our approach has confirmed the potential of this method and disclosed several ways for its improvement. Significance: The results indicate that respiratory, heart rate and movement signals can be used for sleep studies with a reasonable level of accuracy. These inputs can be obtained in a non-invasive way applying it in a home environment. The proposed system introduces a convenient approach for a long-term monitoring system which could support sleep laboratories. The algorithm which was developed allows for an easy adjustment of input parameters that depend on available signals and for this reason could also be used with various hardware systems.}, language = {en} }
