Abstract

Wearable devices are being used in an expanding range of daily life applications, automatically recording data for extraction and analysis. This paper develops a real time wearable multi-posture sensing system, using six tri-axial accelerometers to detect four frequent posture types to provide the user with realtime, longitudinal posture monitoring for therapeutic purposes.
