Traditional Human Activity Recognition (HAR) utilizes accelerometry (movement) data to classify activities. This summer, Team #4 examined using physiological sensors to improve HAR accuracy and generalizability. The team developed ML models that are going to be available open source in the Digital Biomarker Discovery Pipeline (DBDP) to enable other researchers and clinicians to make useful insights in the field of HAR. In sum, the goal of the Human Activity Recognition Team is to create a predictive model that: Takes in multimodal data from mechanical sensors (such as accelerometers) and physiological sensors (such as electrodermal sensors and pulse oximeters).
Classifies human activity (Rest, Deep Breathing, Walking, Typing) at high accuracy and precision, while being generalizable and adaptable to other HAR datasets.
