Abstract: Learning and recognizing the activities of daily living (ADLs) of an individual is vital when providing an individual with context-aware at-home healthcare. In this work, unobtrusive detection of inhabitants’ activities in the home environment is implemented through the smartphone and wearable wireless sensor belt solution. A hybrid classifier is developed by combining threshold-based methods and machine learning mechanisms. Features extracted from the raw inertial sensor data are collected from a Body Area Network (BAN) (consisting of the Zephyr BioHarness sensor and an Android smartphone), and are used to build classification models using different machine learning algorithms. A cloud-based data analytics framework is developed to process different classification models in parallel and to select the most suitable model for each user. The evolving machine learning mechanism makes the model become customizable and self-adaptive by utilizing a cloud infrastructure which also overcomes the limitation of the computing power and storage of a smartphone. Furthermore, we investigate methods for adapting a universal model, which is trained using the data set of all users, to an individual user through an unsupervised learning scheme. The evaluation results of the experiments conducted on eight participants indicate that the proposed approach can robustly identify activities in real-time across multiple individuals: the highest recognition rate achieved 98% after a few runs.
