The increasing use of wireless networks and the constant miniaturization of electrical devices has empowered the development of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). In these networks various sensors are attached on clothing or on the body or even implanted under the skin. The wireless nature of the network and the wide variety of sensors offer numerous new, practical and innovative applications to improve health care and the Quality of Life. The sensors of a WBAN measure for example the heartbeat, the body temperature or record a prolonged electrocardiogram. Using a WBAN, the patient experiences a greater physical mobility and is no longer compelled to stay in the hospital.

Our proposed project is designed to address the need to monitor the daily physical activity of people by physicians, psychologists, rehabilitation centers or simply for self-assessment. The recognized activities can be either logged or transmitted online for the physician more analysis. As a result, the physician can specify the suitable treatment for each patient according to their daily activity habits and other factors.

In our pilot project, we have demonstrated 7 different activities which are walking, running, standing, sitting, eating, brushing the teeth and sleeping.
