Authentication of persons using acceleration sensors in a telemedicine setting

Prophylactic measures are reducing costs of healthcare without lowering its quality. Telemetric Personal Health Monitoring (TPHM) Systems with multi-parametric sensors allow active integration of patients into therapy. A common problem in such systems is the verification and identification of users to guarantee the authenticity of gathered data. To assign measured physiological parameters to legitimate users we included a gait-based identification algorithm into a TPHM System.
