Wearable Sensing

The purpose of this data collection was for the validation of a cuffless blood pressure estimation model during activities of daily living. Data were collected on five young healthy individuals (four males, age 28 ± 6.6 yrs) of varied fitness levels, ranging from sedentary to regularly active, and free of cardiovascular and peripheral vascular disease. Arterial blood pressure was continuously measured using finger PPG (Portapres; Finapres Medical Systems, the Netherlands).

Falls are a major health problem with one in three people over the age of 65 falling each year, oftentimes causing hip fractures, disability, reduced mobility, hospitalization and death. A major limitation in fall detection algorithm development is an absence of real-world falls data. Fall detection algorithms are typically trained on simulated fall data that contain a well-balanced number of examples of falls and activities of daily living. However, real-world falls occur infrequently, making them difficult to capture and causing severe data imbalance.

Inertial measurement units (IMUs) are used in biomechanical and clinical applications for quantifying joint kinematics. This study aimed to assist researchers who are new to IMUs and want to develop inexpensive IMU system to estimate the relative angle between IMUs, while understanding the effect of different computational algorithms for estimating angular kinematics.

GesHome dataset consists of 18 hand gestures from 20 non-professional subjects with various ages and occupation. The participant performed 50 times for each gesture in 5 days. Thus, GesHome consists of 18000 gesture samples in total. Using embedded accelerometer and gyroscope, we take 3-axial linear acceleration and 3-axial angular velocity with frequency equals to 25Hz. The experiments have been video-recorded to label the data manually using ELan tool.
