Daily Living Activity Recognition Using Wearable Devices: A Features-Rich Dataset and a Novel Approach.

Automated daily living activity recognition is a relevant task since it allows to assess the health status of a subject both objectively and remotely. Having a reliable measure is important since it gives precise indications to doctors and researchers interested in evaluating the effectiveness of treatments or drugs (e.g., in the context of clinical studies). The possibility to perform this task remotely is more convenient for the patients and acquired increasing importance not only due to the current pandemic, but also because of the regularly growing population of elderly people that could benefit from remote monitoring.
