Abstract
A method for evaluating activity levels in daily life based on the heart rate and body acceleration is proposed. The method evaluates the amount of activity, excluding the effect of stress, by comparing between body acceleration and the intensity of exercise calculate from heart rate. A prototyping system that measures and displays the intensity of exercise and body acceleration at the same time was implemented. By comparing the data displayed, the users clearly understood the amount of activity in their daily lives. A preliminary experiment to test our method was conducted. Experimental results showed that our method evaluated activity level excluding the effect of the stress.
