A Gesture-Based Smart Home-Oriented Health Monitoring Service for People with Physical Impairments.

Smart home shows great potential in providing ubiquitous services within one's home environment. With the advent of gesture recognition hardware and frameworks, it is now envisioned that most of the household activities that are used on a daily basis, can now be operated using gestures. This will allow people with special to use their natural gestures to interact with different interfaces, whether it be appliances or accessing Internet-based healthcare services. In this article, we present a gesture based natural user interface framework, which supports a set of smart home services through gestures. In order to get feedback from the user interaction, a reverse feedback mechanism is implemented, which keeps track of how many gestures are working correctly. We have developed a mathematical model to represent proposed framework. From the user feedback and analysis of the gathered system testing data, we are optimistic about the deployment of the proposed framework in real life scenarios.
