Various methods and apparatuses for measuring a state parameter of an individual using signals based on one or more sensors are disclosed. In one embodiment, a first set of signals is used in a first function to determine how a second set of signals is used in one or more second functions to predict the state parameter. In another embodiment, first...

Study design: Validation. Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to develop and evaluate activity classification algorithms for a multisensor-based SenseWear (SW) activity monitor that can recognize wheelchair-related activities performed by manual wheelchair users (MWUs) with spinal cord injury (SCI). The secondary aim was to evaluate ho...

A nutrition and activity management system is disclosed that monitors energy expenditure of an individual through the use of a body-mounted sensing apparatus. The apparatus is particularly adapted for continuous wear. The system is also adaptable or applicable to measuring a number of other physiological parameters and reporting the same and deriva...

Objective: To develop and evaluate new energy expenditure (EE) prediction models for manual wheelchair users (MWUs) with spinal cord injury (SCI) based on a commercially available multisensor-based activity monitor. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Laboratory. Participants: Volunteer sample of MWUs with SCI (N=45). Intervention: Subjects...

In this article we provide insight into the BodyMedia FIT armband system — a wearable multi-sensor technology that continuously monitors physiological events related to energy expenditure for weight management using machine learning and data modeling methods. Since becoming commercially available in 2001, more than half a million users have used th...

In this paper we provide insight into the BodyMedia FIT® armband system - a wearable multi-sensor technology that achieves the goals of continuous physiological monitoring (especially energy expenditure estimation) and weight management using machine learning and data modeling methods. This system has been commercially available since 2001 and more...

When a person who usually wears a watch forgets to put it on one day, it is common for them to look at their wrist anyway expecting the watch to be there. Without looking or touching to check, they are not aware of the watch’s presence or lack thereof. The watch becomes a part of their expected experience due to its comfort and continuous utility....

Context-aware computing describes the situation where a wearable / mobile computer is aware of its user's state and surroundings and modifies its behavior based on this information. We designed, implemented and evaluated a wearable system which can determine typical user context and context transition probabilities online and without external super...

Wearable electronics are explained. Philips Research has, since 1997, been looking at combining fashion and wearable electronics. The Galvactivator and the Sensor Jacket are two products. The Galvactivator registers whether the wearer is highly aroused with electrodes on a glove palm containing wiring and circuitry - the wearer's skin completes the...

The addition of sensors to wearable computers allows them to adapt their functions to more suit the activities and situation of their wearers. Here a wearable sensor badge is described constructed from (hard) electronic components, which can sense perambulatory activities for context-awareness. A wearable sensor jacket is described that uses advanc...

Augmented Memory is widely regarded as a key wearable computing application. Retrieval cues are effective means for improving memory recall. The Visual Augmented Memory (VAM) application is a fully automated wearable implementation for the identification, storage, and subsequent retrieval and presentation of visual memory cues based upon face recog...

Describes user tests on a co-modal browser, a general interface for wearable devices that can communicate through a browser. The co-modal browser is a Handheld Device Markup Language (HDML) browser with fully integrated visual display, synthetic speech, voice command, short sounds and buttons. The browser was tested for hands-free, eyes-free, and h...

With the continuing exponential growth of the Internet and the more recent growth of business Intranets, the commercial world is becoming increasingly aware of the problem of electronic information overload. This has encouraged interest in developing agents/softbots that can act as electronic personal assistants and can develop and adapt representa...

The development and testing of computational models of cognition is typically ad hoc: few generally agreed methodological principles guide the process. Consequently computational models often conflate empirically justified mechanisms with pragmatic implementation details, and essential theoretical aspects of theories are frequently hard to identify...
