Recent Advances in Minimally-Obtrusive Monitoring of People's Health
Abstract
Monitoring people's health is useful for enhancing the care provided to them by others or self-management of health. This article is a survey of the latest research on monitoring parameters indicating a person's current health or having potential to affect the person's health in future, using various physical sensors. These sensors include accelerometers, gyroscopes, electromyography sensors, fiber optic sensors, textile electrodes, thermistors, infrared sensors, force sensors, and photo diodes. The health parameters monitored include heart rate, respiration rate, weight, body mass index, calories burnt, pressure distribution, diet, blood pressure, blood glucose, oxygen saturation, posture, duration of sleep, quality of sleep, hand movement, body temperature, skin conductance, exposure to ultraviolet light, adherence to medication-intake schedule, gait characteristics, and steps taken. The population monitored includes elderly people, miners, stroke survivors, osteoarthritis patients, people suffering from anorexia nervosa, obese people, people with Parkinson's disease, people having panic attacks, and wheelchair users.
