IoT based mobile healthcare system for human activity recognition

Developments in information and communication technologies have led to the wider usage of Internet of Things (IoT). In the modern health care applications, the usage of IoT technologies brings physicians and patients together for automated and intelligent daily activity monitoring for elderly people. Mobile devices and wearable body sensors are gradually implemented for the monitoring of personal health care and wellbeing. One of the main technologies of IoT improvements in healthcare monitoring system is the wearable sensor technology. Furthermore, integration of IoT in healthcare has led to initiate smart applications such as mobile healthcare (m-Healthcare) and intelligent healthcare monitoring systems. In this study an intelligent m-healthcare system based on IoT technology is presented to provide pervasive human activity recognition by using data mining techniques. In this paper, we present a user-dependent data mining approach for off-line human activity classification and a robust and precise human activity recognition model is developed based on IoT technology. The proposed model utilizes the dataset contains body motion and vital signs recordings for ten volunteers of diverse profile while performing 12 physical activities for human activity recognition purpose. Results show that the proposed system is superior in performance with 99.89 % accuracy and is highly effective, robust and reliable in delivering m-Healthcare services during different activities.
