• Title: Multi-modal Atmospheric Sensing to Augment Wearable IMU-Based Hand Washing Detection
• Authors: Robin Burchard, Kristof Van Laerhoven,
• Abstract summary: We present a novel, open-source prototype device that additionally includes a humidity, temperature, and barometric sensor. By visual inspection, we show that especially the humidity sensor registers a strong increase in the relative humidity during a hand-washing activity. A machine learning analysis of our data shows that distinct features benefiting from such relative humidity patterns remain to be identified.

• Abstract: Hand washing is a crucial part of personal hygiene. Hand washing detection is a relevant topic for wearable sensing with applications in the medical and professional fields. Hand washing detection can be used to aid workers in complying with hygiene rules. Hand washing detection using body-worn IMU-based sensor systems has been shown to be a feasible approach, although, for some reported results, the specificity of the detection was low, leading to a high rate of false positives. In this work, we present a novel, open-source prototype device that additionally includes a humidity, temperature, and barometric sensor. We contribute a benchmark dataset of 10 participants and 43 hand-washing events and perform an evaluation of the sensors' benefits. Added to that, we outline the usefulness of the additional sensor in both the annotation pipeline and the machine learning models. By visual inspection, we show that especially the humidity sensor registers a strong increase in the relative humidity during a hand-washing activity. A machine learning analysis of our data shows that distinct features benefiting from such relative humidity patterns remain to be identified.

  We investigate the scaling properties of sensor foundation models across compute, data, and model size. Using a dataset of up to 40 million hours of in-situ heart rate, heart rate variability, electrodermal activity, accelerometer, skin temperature, and altimeter per-minute data from over 165,000 people, we create LSM. Our results establish the scaling laws of LSM for tasks such as imputation, extrapolation, both across time and sensor modalities.
