Abstract: This paper is devoted to the healthcare-oriented characterisation of the human movements by means of the accelerometric and impulse-radar sensors – the sensors that may be employed in care services for monitoring of elderly and disabled persons. Characterisation of the movements in terms of the so-called self-selected walking velocity can be used by the medical and healthcare personnel to assess the overall health status of a monitored person. The quality of the characterisation, based on the measurement data from accelerometric and impulse-radar sensors, has been assessed in a series of real-world experiments which involved the estimation of the instantaneous and mean walking velocity of a person moving according to predefined patterns. Some indicators of uncertainty of the velocity estimation, determined with respect to assumed predefined velocity values, have been used for comparison of the performance of both types of sensors. The experiments have shown that impulse-radar sensors enable one to estimate the mean walking velocity more accurately than the accelerometric sensors: the estimates obtained on the basis of data from the latter sensors are affected by larger bias and are more widely spread around their mean values.
