Abstract

Nowadays, sensors, algorithms and software applications are embedded in people’s everyday lives. To be more precise, living environment is significantly dependent on previously mentioned technology especially in the field of medicine.
The ultimate goal of this research is to collect data from different medical sensors platform, which can be used in initial medical assessment and man- agement in the living environment. Furthermore, collected data from sport’s activity were analysed in order to measure the strength of linear association between variables.
First, research on market available equipment is performed which is focused on medical sensors for assisted living in people’s everyday environment. Sec- ond, research on hardware in terms of tablet, desktop machines, iPad etc. is conducted and scenarios of using the hardware are elaborated. Regarding the scenarios, the concept that demonstrates the advantages and disadvantages of the system for ambient assisted living is shown. The architecture of the system followed by sensors, computer networks, terminals is included and the tech- nology for achieving the system’s functionality is presented. Next, the Zephyr Bioharness 3 sensor for measuring physiological data is used for collecting data in the living environment. Finally, integration of the sensor with the most convenient terminal in the living environment is done and collected data are visualized via MATLAB. The parameters monitored are Heart Rate (HR), Respiratory Rate (RR), Peak Acceleration (PkAcc). The proof of the correlation between listed parameters describes the physiological status in the living environment.
The ratio between HR and PkAcc is 0.91. It is a strong positive correlation. It means that changes in heart beats are linearly followed by the peak acceleration. Next, the ratio between HR and RR is 0.88. It is also a strong positive corre- lation. It means that changes in heart beats are linearly followed by the respi- ratory rate. The ratio between RR and PkAcc is 0.84. Again, it is a strong positive correlation. It means that changes in respiratory rate are linearly fol- lowed by the peak acceleration.
