• Abstract summary: Falls have serious consequences and are prevalent in acute hospitals and nursing homes caring for older people. Technological interventions to mitigate the risk of falling aim to automatically monitor bed-exit events and alert healthcare personnel to provide timely supervisions. We observe that frequency-domain information related to patient activities exist predominantly in very low frequencies. We investigate a batteryless sensing modality with low cost wirelessly powered Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology with the potential for convenient integration into clothing, such as hospital gowns.

• Abstract: Falls have serious consequences and are prevalent in acute hospitals and nursing homes caring for older people. Most falls occur in bedrooms and near the bed. Technological interventions to mitigate the risk of falling aim to automatically monitor bed-exit events and subsequently alert healthcare personnel to provide timely supervisions. We observe that frequency-domain information related to patient activities exist predominantly in very low frequencies. Therefore, we recognise the potential to employ a low resolution acceleration sensing modality in contrast to powering and sensing with a conventional MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) accelerometer. Consequently, we investigate a batteryless sensing modality with low cost wirelessly powered Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology with the potential for convenient integration into clothing, such as hospital gowns. We design and build a passive accelerometer-based RFID sensor embodiment---ID-Sensor---for our study. The sensor design allows deriving ultra low resolution acceleration data from the rate of change of unique RFID tag identifiers in accordance with the movement of a patient's upper body. We investigate two convolutional neural network architectures for learning from raw RFID-only data streams and compare performance with a traditional shallow classifier with engineered features. We evaluate performance with 23 hospitalized older patients. We demonstrate, for the first time and to the best of knowledge, that: i) the low resolution acceleration data embedded in the RF powered ID-Sensor data stream can provide a practicable method for activity recognition; and ii) highly discriminative features can be efficiently learned from the raw RFID-only data stream using a fully convolutional network architecture.

  Mobile Health (mHealth) is the ability to use wearable sensors to monitor participant physiology at high frequencies during daily life to enable temporally-precise health interventions. Despite a rich imputation literature, existing techniques are ineffective for the pulsative signals which comprise many mHealth applications. We address this gap with PulseImpute, the first large-scale pulsative signal imputation challenge which includes realistic mHealth missingness models, an extensive set of baselines, and clinically-relevant downstream tasks.

  Recent deep learning approaches have reached accuracy in such tasks, but their implementation on conventional embedded solutions is still computationally very and energy expensive. We propose a new benchmark for computing tactile pattern recognition at the edge through letters reading. We trained and compared feed-forward and recurrent spiking neural networks (SNNs) offline using back-propagation through time with surrogate gradients, then we deployed them on the Intel Loihimorphic chip for efficient inference. Our results show that the LSTM outperforms the recurrent SNN in terms of accuracy by 14%. However, the recurrent SNN on Loihi is 237 times more energy
