Abstract :
In this paper, a new evaluating method of LDA (level of daily activities) is proposed using neural networks. In the new evaluating method, a neural network acquires specific rules for a specific subject by learning with the measurement signals of the subject using accelerometers, and LDA of the subject is judged with the neural network which has obtained the specific rules. The effectiveness of the proposed evaluating method of LDA is shown by judging it with the actual measurement signals of a healthy subject
