ABSTRACT
The novel coronavirus, designated by the World Health Organization as COVID-19 has required many countries around the world to close work spaces, schools and public venues. This has required policy makers and venue managers to investigate practical mitigation strategies using technology to exit the lockdown safely and enable the reopening of public spaces. This paper introduces Digital personal protective equipment (PPE), a dynamic and affordable wearable approach that remind people to keep their distance and keep track of their contact traces. This IoT based BLE probing technique approach empowers employers, city and venue managers to encourage social-distancing and trigger a friendly alert using vibration when social distancing is violated in privacy-preserving manner.

A wearable system that knows who wears it
MobiSys '14: Proceedings of the 12th annual international conference on Mobile systems, applications, and servicesBody-area networks of pervasive wearable devices are increasingly used for health monitoring, personal assistance, entertainment, and home automation. In an ideal world, a user would simply wear their desired set of devices with no configuration ...
Using wearable activity type detection to improve physical activity energy expenditure estimation
UbiComp '10: Proceedings of the 12th ACM international conference on Ubiquitous computingAccurate, real-time measurement of energy expended during everyday activities would enable development of novel health monitoring and wellness technologies. A technique using three miniature wearable accelerometers is presented that improves upon state-...
Analysis of a Public Repository for the Study of Automatic Fall Detection Algorithms
iWOAR '18: Proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Sensor-based Activity Recognition and InteractionThe use of publicly available repositories containing movement traces of real or experimental subjects is a key aspect to define an evaluation framework that allows a systematic assessment of wearable fall detection systems. This papers presents a ...
