Abstract

In recent years, chronic diseases have become the main causes of death around the world, and medication non-adherence among patients with chronic diseases is a common problem. A system for detecting drug administration behavior in daily life is strongly required. Currently, there is not a system for detecting this behavior by using wearable sensors. In this paper, we propose a wearable sensing method for detecting drug administration behavior in daily life by using swallowing sound, which is available and suitable for daily monitoring. To recognize the behavior from swallowing activities, a classification methodology using wavelet based features as feature vectors and artificial neural network as classifier is proposed. A high classification accuracy of 85.4% was achieved in classifying two swallowing activities of drinking water and taking a capsule with water. Furthermore, we also propose a compensation method for time-dependent change based on the frequency characteristics of swallowing sound.
