- Abstract: The advent of IoT has enabled the design of connected and integrated smart
health monitoring systems. These smart health monitoring systems could be
realized in a smart home context to render long-term care to the elderly
population. In this paper, we present the design of a wearable health
monitoring system suitable for older adults in a smart home context. The
proposed system offers solutions to monitor the stress, blood pressure, and
location of an individual within a smart home environment. The stress detection
model proposed in this work uses Electrodermal Activity (EDA),
Photoplethysmogram (PPG), and Skin Temperature (ST) sensors embedded in a smart
wristband for detecting physiological stress. The stress detection model is
trained and tested using stress labels obtained from salivary cortisol which is
a clinically established biomarker for physiological stress. A voice-based
prototype is also implemented and the feasibility of the proposed system for
integration in a smart home environment is analyzed by simulating a data
acquisition and streaming scenario. We have also proposed a blood pressure
estimation model using PPG signal and advanced regression techniques for
integration with the stress detection model in the wearable health monitoring
system. Finally, the design of a voice-assisted indoor location system is
proposed for integration with the proposed system within a smart home
environment. The proposed wearable health monitoring system is an important
direction to realize a smart home environment with extensive diagnostic
capabilities so that such a system could be useful for rendering long-term and
personalized care to the aging population in the comfort of their home.

Imputation [54.839600943189915]
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.
