Real time human activity monitoring

Human activity monitoring is one of those research areas whose importance and popularity have notably increased in recent years. The popularity of this topic increased in the previous years. Most of the used movement analysis techniques in the area are based on the measurement of the acceleration change of different parts of the body. This is done by attaching one or more little devices with an accelerometer to the body of the observed patient. Usually, the role of the body-attached devices are only data acquisition, the processing of the acquired data happens offline. This article presents a new solution for this task which combines digital time-frequency signal processing with a parallel programming approach.
