Abstract

A major obstacle in widespread adoption of current wearable monitoring systems is that sensors must be worn on predefined locations on the body. In order to continuously detect sensor locations, we propose a localization algorithm that allows patients to wear the sensors on different body locations without having to adhere to a specific installation protocol. Our approach achieves localization accuracy of 90.8% even when the sensor nodes are mis-oriented. Integration of the resulting location information as a feature in an activity recognition classifier significantly increased the recognition accuracy from 23.5% to 99.5%.
