We present a method for measuring gait velocity using data from an existing ambient sensor network. Gait velocity is an important predictor of fall risk and functional health. In contrast to other approaches that use specific sensors or sensor configurations our method imposes no constraints on the elderly. …

This paper explores a method for deducing the affective state of runners using his/her movements. The movements are measured on the arm using a smartphone’s built-in accelerometer. Multiple features are derived from the measured data. We studied which features are most predictive for the affective state …
