Project Description

When RFID Meets AI for Occluded Body Skeletal Posture Capture in Smart Healthcare

This project aims to develop RFID localization methods to obtain precise positions of attached RFID tags. The posture and motion of the body can be reconstructed by registering tags to a skeletal model. With the captured posture and motion of the body, an AI-based method shall be proposed to provide diagnostic information. The research agenda includes: (i) Create a prototype for the RFID posture scanner (RFPS); (ii) Enabling RFPS for a complex and large-scale environment; (iii) Developing an intelligent tool for extracting healthcare data. This project also includes a thorough integration and assessment plan to test how the proposed system can be used in a healthcare facility or home environment to monitor persons in need of preventative care.
