The human body motion or posture capture plays a critical role in the early detection of risk and treating, monitoring, and diagnosing certain health conditions. This project aims to create and evaluate a low-cost, unobtrusive, and robust posture capture system for healthcare and home environments, especially for non-visible scenarios. With passive Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tags attached or fabricated into fitness clothing, wireless signals of RFID can be captured and analyzed to detect body motions. The posture capture system can be used in a healthcare facility or home environment for monitoring persons in need of preventative care, such as elders at high risk of falling, detecting abnormal body movements, and enhancing training and evaluation processes in rehabilitation settings. Successful completion of this project will significantly improve the state-of-the-art of wearable sensor networks and IoT systems. The project's education plan includes curriculum development and enhancement, engaging students with hands-on projects, and promoting participation of under-represented groups in research. 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.This project is jointly funded by the CCSS program in the ECCS division of the Engineering Directorate, and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

人体运动或姿势捕捉在风险的早期检测以及治疗、监测和诊断某些健康状况中起着关键作用。该项目旨在为医疗保健和家庭环境创建和评估一个低成本，不显眼，强大的姿势捕捉系统，特别是对于不可见的场景。通过将无源射频识别（RFID）标签附着或制造到健身服装中，可以捕获和分析RFID的无线信号以检测身体运动。姿势捕获系统可以在医疗机构或家庭环境中使用，用于监测需要预防护理的人，例如处于跌倒高风险的老年人，检测异常身体运动，以及增强康复环境中的训练和评估过程。该项目的成功完成将显著提高可穿戴传感器网络和物联网系统的最新水平。该项目的教育计划包括制定和加强课程，让学生参与实践项目，并促进代表性不足的群体参与研究。本项目旨在开发RFID定位方法，以获得所附RFID标签的精确位置。身体的姿势和运动可以通过将标签配准到骨架模型来重建。利用捕获的身体姿势和运动，应提出基于AI的方法来提供诊断信息。研究议程包括：（i）为RFID姿势扫描仪（RFPS）创建原型;（ii）使RFPS能够用于复杂和大规模的环境;（iii）开发用于提取医疗保健数据的智能工具。该项目还包括一个全面的集成和评估计划，以测试拟议的系统如何在医疗机构或家庭环境中使用，以监测需要预防护理的人员。该项目由工程局ECCS部门的CCSS计划共同资助，激励竞争研究计划（EPSCoR）该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
