    VirtualPT: Virtual Reality based Home Care Physiotherapy Rehabilitation for Elderly
    (2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Heiyanthuduwa, T.A.; Amarapala, K.W.N.U.; Gunathilaka, K.D.V.B.; Ravindu, K.S.; Wickramarathne, J.; Kasthurirathna, D.
    This paper describes the development of Personal computer based Virtual Reality home-care Physiotherapy system aimed for rehabilitating full body function in elders. VirtualPT is a true virtual reality platform where the environment is completely replaced by a virtual reality platform based on the mental condition of the person at the time. While doing the home-based prescribed physiotherapy exercises, the key health metrics are continuously monitored and tracked by combining the immersive Virtual Reality with the wearable VirtualPT Sensor kit. Virtual Reality combined with 3D motion capture lets real time movements to be accurately translated onto the virtual reality avatar that can be viewed in a virtual environment to assist physiotherapist to add exercises to the system easily. This ultimate virtual reality Physiotherapy assistant avatar is used to provide guidance to elders at home, to demonstrate and assist elders in adhering to the prescribed exercises. As a significant aspect of social interactions, mirroring of movements has been added to focus on whether the elder is able to accurately follow the movements of avatar. Furthermore, the insightful dashboard offers the elders and physiotherapists an interactive platform through virtual reality capabilities. VirtualPT physiotherapy system is cost effective and makes recovery and more convenient to elders at home while the participatory and immersive nature of Virtual Reality offers a unique realistic quality that is not generally existing in clinical-based physiotherapy. When looking at the broader concept of VirtualPT; continuity of care, integration of services, quality of life and access are equally important criteria which add more value.

    An Integrated Framework for Predicting Health Based on Sensor Data Using Machine Learning
    (2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Jayaweera, K.N.; Kallora, K.M.C.; Subasinghe, N.A.C.K.; Rupasinghe, L.; Liyanapathirana, C.
    According to recent studies, the majority of the world's population shows a lack of concern in their health. As a consequence, the non-communicable disease rate has increased dramatically. Amongst these diseases, heart diseases have caused the most catastrophic situations. Apart from the busy lifestyle, studies also show that stress is another factor that causes these diseases. Therefore, the focus of our research is to provide a user-friendly health monitoring system that causes minimum disturbance to its users. However, many studies have focused on predicting health; very few have focused on its usability. The objective of our research is to predict the possibility of cardiac arrests and the presence of stress in real-time using a wearable device prototype. The system uses biometric signals obtained from the photoplethysmogram sensor embedded in the wearable device to perform real-time predictions. We trained three models using random forest, k-nearest neighbor, and logistic regression classification algorithms to predict sudden cardiac arrests with accuracies 99.93%, 99.10%, and 94.47%, respectively. Further, we trained three additional models to predict stress using the same algorithms with accuracies 99.87%, 96.83%, and 65.00%, respectively. Thus, the results of this study show that an integrated framework, capable of predicting different health-related conditions, through sensor data collected from wearable sensors, is feasible.
