Recognition of elementary arm movements using orientation of a tri-axial accelerometer located near the wrist [PDF]

, 2014
In this paper we present a method for recognising three fundamental movements of the human arm (reach and retrieve, lift cup to mouth, rotation of the arm) by determining the orientation of a tri-axial accelerometer located near the wrist.

Optimising the Wireless Body Sensors Network (WBSN) of Elderly Health Monitoring System Through Actor‐Critic Mechanism

IET Wireless Sensor Systems, Volume 16, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
Elderly people are a vulnerable group that requires continuous care to ensure a good quality of life and life expectancy. In this study, an elderly health monitoring system based on wireless body sensor networks (WBSN) was developed by implementing an actor‐critic deep reinforcement learning (ACDRL) model.
