Abstract

We present MercuryLive, a web-enhanced extension to a body sensor network platform for continuous home-based body motion sensing, interactive supervised data collection sessions, and long-term activity data analysis. The major goal of MercuryLive is to enable practical long-term health monitoring in a home setting and henceforth reduce the effort and cost for collecting clinically relevant quantitative measures on patients´ health conditions during daily activities. MercuryLive contains three tiers: a central web server for streaming and storage of sensor data, a sensor data collection engine, and a user-friendly web-based GUI client. The platform is currently used in clinical studies on Parkinson´s disease.
