Sensing and activity classification for infants

Abstract:

Various examples are described for using a movement sensor to detecting an activity of an infant. In an example, an activity classification system includes a sensor configured to measure the activity of an infant and an external monitor. The monitor receives, from a sensor, a time series of data comprising an inertial measurement for each a time period. The monitor determines, from the time series and by using a predictive model, an activity from a list of identified activities. Examples of identified activities are deep sleep, light sleep, sitting, awake, nursing, or bottle feeding.
