Abstract

This chapter introduces and comprehensively overviews emerging edge algorithms for wearable devices – signal processing algorithms which are embedded into the wearable hardware itself. We begin by overviewing some of the potential benefits of including low-power real-time signal processing in wearable sensors, with benefits of both increasing the operational lifetime and increasing the device functionality. Results from a practical state-of-the-art sensor platform demonstrate and quantify ...
