Human movement activity recognition on real-world scales: MoveScales

Description of the granted funding

The MoveScales project will develop a novel and unique method for identifying everyday human movement behavior. Such a technology, based on multiple (2-4) motion sensors and utilizing artificial intelligence, has never before been used to study and promote the early development, health and well-being of individuals. The methodological basis is a smart jumpsuit developed for infants whose analytical scale will be significantly expanded from infant playtime to take into account different contexts throughout the day at all timescales. This will allow the method to be adapted for the assessment needs of movement behavior throughout the entire lifespan of an individual. In future, MoveScales may offer, for example, an objective method for studying abnormalities in early infant development, the effectiveness of rehabilitation (motor disabilities), non-drug treatment (child obesity) and the effects of drug treatment (ADHD).
