Model-Driven Impact Quantification of Energy Resource Redundancy and Server Rejuvenation on the Dependability of Medical Sensor Networks in Smart Hospitals

Using a Hybrid Neural Network and a Regularized Extreme Learning Machine for Human Activity Recognition with Smartphone and Smartwatch

Mobile health (mHealth) utilizes mobile devices, mobile communication techniques, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to improve not only traditional telemedicine and monitoring and alerting systems, but also fitness and medical information awareness in daily life. In the last decade, human activity recognition (HAR) has been extensively studied because of the strong correlation between people's activities and their physical and mental health. HAR can also be used to care for elderly people in their daily lives. This study proposes an HAR system for classifying 18 types of physical activity using data from sensors embedded in smartphones and smartwatches. The recognition process consists of two parts: feature extraction and HAR. To extract features, a hybrid structure consisting of a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a bidirectional gated recurrent unit GRU (BiGRU) was used. For activity recognition, a single-hidden-layer feedforward neural network (SLFN) with a regularized extreme machine learning (RELM) algorithm was used. The experimental results show an average precision of 98.3%, recall of 98.4%, an F₁-score of 98.4%, and accuracy of 98.3%, which results are superior to those of existing schemes.
