Activity Recognition Using Wearable Physiological Measurements: Selection of Features from a Comprehensive Literature Study.

ABSTRACT: Activity and emotion recognition based on physiological signal processing in health care applications is a relevant research field, with promising future and relevant applications, such as health at work or preventive care. This paper carries out a deep analysis of features proposed to extract information from the electrocardiogram, thoracic electrical bioimpedance, and electrodermal activity signals. The activities analyzed are: neutral, emotional, mental and physical. A total number of 533 features are tested for activity recognition, performing a comprehensive study taking into consideration the prediction accuracy, feature calculation, window length, and type of classifier. Feature selection to know the most relevant features from the complete set is implemented using a genetic algorithm, with a different number of features. This study has allowed us to determine the best number of features to obtain a good error probability avoiding over-fitting, and the best subset of features among those proposed in the literature. The lowest error probability that is obtained is 22.2%, with 40 features, a least squares error classifier, and 40 seconds window length.

Project description:BackgroundContinuous assessment and remote monitoring of cognitive function in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) enables tracking therapeutic effects and modifying treatment to achieve better clinical outcomes. While standardized neuropsychological tests are inconvenient for this purpose, wearable sensor technology collecting physiological and behavioral data looks promising to provide proxy measures of cognitive function. The objective of this study was to evaluate the predictive ability of digital physiological features, based on sensor data from wrist-worn wearables, in determining neuropsychological test scores in individuals with MCI.MethodsWe used the dataset collected from a 10-week single-arm clinical trial in older adults (50-70 years old) diagnosed with amnestic MCI (N = 30) who received a digitally delivered multidomain therapeutic intervention. Cognitive performance was assessed before and after the intervention using the Neuropsychological Test Battery (NTB) from which composite scores were calculated (executive function, processing speed, immediate memory, delayed memory and global cognition). The Empatica E4, a wrist-wearable medical-grade device, was used to collect physiological data including blood volume pulse, electrodermal activity, and skin temperature. We processed sensors' data and extracted a range of physiological features. We used interpolated NTB scores for 10-day intervals to test predictability of scores over short periods and to leverage the maximum of wearable data available. In addition, we used individually centered data which represents deviations from personal baselines. Supervised machine learning was used to train models predicting NTB scores from digital physiological features and demographics. Performance was evaluated using "leave-one-subject-out" and "leave-one-interval-out" cross-validation.ResultsThe final sample included 96 aggregated data intervals from 17 individuals. In total, 106 digital physiological features were extracted. We found that physiological features, especially measures of heart rate variability, correlated most strongly to the executive function compared to other cognitive composites. The model predicted the actual executive function scores with correlation r = 0.69 and intra-individual changes in executive function scores with r = 0.61.ConclusionsOur findings demonstrated that wearable-based physiological measures, primarily HRV, have potential to be used for the continuous assessments of cognitive function in individuals with MCI.
