Behavioural Biometrics in Feature Profiles-Engineering Healthcare and Rehabilitation Systems

Abstract

With biometrics replacing the age-old password verification process and identification of an individual, it is time to explore the applications of biometrics in health monitoring of patients, specifically senior citizens, and for rehabilitation. The aim of this study is to use behavioural biometrics to save data of patients and make their feature profiles. A check-up can then include the comparison of newly taken data with the feature profiles to facilitate an early diagnosis of brain deteriorating diseases. These biometrics can also be applied to patients in rehabilitation to provide therapy which can be personalised by comparing their data to that of a healthy person. The data would include patients’ gait, handwriting (signature), speech and keystroke dynamics. This novel study is also proposing a framework named BBFP (Behavioural Biometrics in Feature Profiles) for implementing the techniques in hospitals.
