- Abstract
Smartphone sensors have repeatedly been proposed as pervasive evaluation systems to gauge the mobility of senior citizens. This study investigates whether a smartphone application that was used to capture temporal factors during the walking assessment with older people is valid and reliable. Five elderly individuals (4 women and 1 man), aged (61.5 ± 3.19 years), consented to participate in the study. Each participant completed the walking evaluation three times. Before each repetition of walking, the smartphone app was active for 2 seconds. Using a smartphone, timer, and digital video camera, all the data was gathered simultaneously. One of the factors to be measured was the walking time duration. Signal processing is used to compute the signal's characteristics using the data gathered from smartphone sensors. A stopwatch's standard time can be compared to the assessment's total duration, which can be calculated using signal properties. According to our statistics, the smartphone application may be used to record the walking time during an elderly person's walking test.
