Human Activity Monitoring using Fuzzified Neural Networks

For monitoring and estimating our daily activity, some kinds of devices are available. One of such kinds of monitoring devices is a MEMS based prototype which is developed by the Maenaka Human Sensing Fusion Project. We have developed a estimation method of human activity from three-axis acceleration data using the above-mentioned prototype. This method can estimate our unit activities, such as (1) walking, (2) running, (3) sitting, (4) lying, and (5) standing. In this paper, we propose a system that can find unusual situation from ECG data. Our proposed system is based on the fuzzified neural networks. The fuzzified neural network is trained by using sensing data with reliability grade. Since the fuzzified neural network learns normal state of the subject person, we can understand the ECG state of the subject when we analyze fuzzy outputs from the trained fuzzified neural network. This paper shows estimation results by using actual monitoring data which contains normal state, and artificial unusual data. From the results for the actual monitoring data, we can see that our proposed system was able to estimate the testing data as normal. From the results of estimating artificial unusual data, our proposed system can find the subject person's unusual situation. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
