The number of home office workers sitting for many hours is increasing. The sensor chair is tracking users’ sitting behavior which the help of pressure sensors and tries to avoid wrong postures which may cause diseases. The system provides live monitoring of the pressure distribution via web interface, as well as sitting posture prediction in real time. 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 classifier achieves an accuracy of 97.4% on our test set and is comparable to the performance of the random forest with 98.9%.
This document presents an algorithm for a non-obtrusive recognition of Sleep/Wake states using signals derived from ECG, respiration, and body movement captured while lying in a bed. As a core mathematical base of system data analytics, multinomial logistic regression techniques were chosen. Derived parameters of the three signals are used as the input for the proposed method. The overall achieved accuracy rate is 84% for Wake/Sleep stages, with Cohen’s kappa value 0.46. The presented algorithm should support experts in analyzing sleep quality in more detail. The results confirm the potential of this method and disclose several ways for its improvement.
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) affect a large number of children both in the Russian Federation and in Germany. Early diagnosis is key for these children, because the sooner parents notice such disorders in a child and the rehabilitation and treatment program starts, the higher the likelihood of his social adaptation. The difficulties in raising such a child lie in the complexity of his learning outside of children's groups and the complexity of his medical care. In this regard, the development of digital applications that facilitate medical care and education of such children at home is important and relevant. The purpose of the project is to improve the availability and quality of healthcare and social adaptation at home of children with ASD through the use of digital technologies.
Due to the rising need for palliative care in Russia, it is crucial to provide timely and high-quality solutions for patients, relatives, and caregivers. A methodology for remote monitoring of patients in need of palliative care and the requirements will be developed for a hardware-software complex for remote monitoring of patients' health at home.
