Title: Characterization of physical activity in COPD patients: validation of a robust algorithm for actigraphic measurements in living situations. Author: Perriot B, Argod J, Pepin JL, Noury N. Journal: IEEE J Biomed Health Inform; 2014 Jul; 18(4):1225-31. PubMed ID: 24058044. Abstract: We have developed robust embedded algorithms for the real-time classification of activity detected by our wearable inertial device. We collected 224 h of accelerometric signals from 28 subjects [22 suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)] to develop and then evaluate our algorithms. We describe the process for determining the most robust parameters of the algorithms. Our results with COPD patients show the feasibility of conducting real-time classification of their activities in everyday situations, with high fidelity.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
