Abstract

Diabetes is a disease that requires monitoring of healthy habits for its treatment. A recent study suggests that sensor-based activity recognition approaches are a suitable tool for monitoring such habits that are established between clinical personnel and the patient through a therapeutic contract. To date, there is no fully described system architecture for implementing a sensor-based activity recognition approach to monitor healthy habits. In this paper, we present the advanced architecture of a system for monitoring healthy habits of multiple diabetes patients in their homes. The presented system, called AI2EPD, features a complex architecture that encompasses from the sensor devices deployed in each patient’s home to persistence in the central server and visualisation in the technical and clinical interface. The system has been deployed in the municipality of Cabra in Córdoba (Spain) in collaboration with the Cabra Health Centre. The approach for sensor installation in the patient’s home, as well as the issues and challenges encountered during system deployment, are presented in this section.

This result has been partially supported through the Spanish Government by the project PID2021-127275OB-I00, FEDER “Una manera de hacer Europa”, the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 8571 and the Consejería de Salud y Familias de la Junta de Andalucía for the project with code AP-0233-2019.
