Title
Daily Activity Recognition and Tremor Quantification from Accelerometer Data for Patients with Essential Tremor Using Stacked Denoising Autoencoders
Abstract
Human activity recognition (HAR) has received more and more attention, which is able to play an important role in many fields, such as healthcare and intelligent home. Thus, we have discussed an application of activity recognition in the healthcare field in this paper. Essential tremor (ET) is a common neurological disorder that can make people with this disease rise involuntary tremor. Nowadays, the disease is easy to be misdiagnosed as other diseases. We have combined the essential tremor and activity recognition to recognize ET patients’ activities and evaluate the degree of ET for providing an auxiliary analysis toward disease diagnosis by utilizing stacked denoising autoencoder (SDAE) model. Meanwhile, it is difficult for model to learn enough useful features due to the small behavior dataset from ET patients. Thus, resampling techniques are proposed to alleviate small sample size and imbalanced samples problems. In our experiment, 20 patients with ET and 5 healthy people have been chosen to collect their acceleration data for activity recognition. The experimental results show the significant result on ET patients activity recognition and the SDAE model has achieved an overall accuracy of 93.33%. What’s more, this model is also used to evaluate the degree of ET and has achieved the accuracy of 95.74%. According to a set of experiments, the model we used is able to acquire significant performance on ET patients activity recognition and degree of tremor assessment.
