Key Points
- The paper proposes an intelligent wearable system consisting of a wristband to record physiological signals and a mobile app for ecological momentary assessment to monitor and predict mood states in elderly individuals during daily activities.
- It trains a classifier using machine learning to predict different mood states based solely on data from the smart band, achieving accuracy comparable to state-of-the-art in detecting happiness and activeness.
- The approach enables mood monitoring in real-life settings, potentially supporting personalized care and well-being for elderly users.
- The results are described as promising, indicating feasibility of mood prediction from wearable sensors outside clinical contexts.
