Introduction[edit | edit source]

Wearable devices, also known as wearables, are instruments that have garnered significant attention for enabling non-invasive, real-time monitoring of physical and physiological parameters in smart care and digital medicine. These devices are worn on the body and provide physiological measures directly to smart devices, offering valuable insights into health metrics. [1][2][3]

Accelerometers are wearable devices designed to measure the acceleration of the body segment to which they are attached[4]. These devices play a crucial role in studying human movement across various applications, including activity detection, assessing postural balance, evaluating sports physical function, and investigating falls. They operate based on Newton’s law of motion wherein they measure linear acceleration which represents the change in an object’s speed over time. [5]
