Selected facts

Quantitative details and source-backed proof points.

iCAMP role: 31 subjects and 800+ hours of chest-worn wearable data.

Fall-risk/frailty model reference: 0.73 baseline AUC, 0.921 posture/activity AUC, and 0.969 mixed-model AUC.

Workflow included ECG filtering, R-wave detection, R-R interval correction, HRV features, accelerometer calibration/reorientation, posture/activity classification, labeling, and prediction support.

Project summary

Why it exists, what I built, and what I learned.

Why I built it

Wearable physiological studies needed reliable feature extraction, calibration, labeling, and model-support workflows from noisy human sensor data.

What I built

ECG filtering, R-wave detection, R-R interval correction, HRV feature generation, accelerometer calibration/reorientation, posture/activity classification, labeling, and prediction support.

What worked

The pipeline converted raw chest-worn ECG and acceleration into model-ready physiological, posture, and activity features.

What failed

Human wearable data required careful calibration, labeling, windowing, and artifact handling before model metrics were meaningful.

What I learned

Physiological modeling depends on signal preparation and context labeling as much as the downstream classifier.
