Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Indoor positioning systems (IPS) can be used to measure mobility at home, which is an important indicator for health and wellbeing. In this work, we designed and developed a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) based IPS that identifies individual users; does not require floorplans; and allows the end-users to perform on-site install/setup. Additionally, a dynamic calibration process is implemented to learn room boundaries based on the distribution of the BLE signal strength. The functionality and performance of IPS system were validated in two residential home settings. Raw and filtered relative signal strength indicators (RSSI) and variability of RSSI were measured during testing. Room detection was determined by comparing a user input location (ground truth) with the IPS detected location for over 300 positions. The IPS produced a 96% accuracy of correctly detecting room location when using RSSI and the additional motion sensors. The use of PIR motion and ultrasonic sensors information provided improved validity when compared with existing indoor positioning systems. The ease of use and modular design of this IPS makes it a good choice for implementation in larger scale smart healthcare monitoring systems.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
