Sumario:Human Activity Recognition (HAR) is an arisen research topic because of its usage of self-care and prevention issues. In our days, the advances of technology (smart-phones, smart-watches, tablets, wristbands) and achievements of Machine Learning provide great opportunities for in-depth research on HAR. Technological gadgets include many sensors that gather various, which in turn are input to machine learning techniques to derive useful information and results about human activities and health conditions. Activity Recognition is mainly based physical sensors attached to the human body, with wearable devices coming with built-in sensors such as the accelerometer, gyroscope. This work presents a system based on the Internet of Things (IoT), that monitoring essential vital signals. A mobile application has designed and developed to collect data from a wearable device with built-in sensors (accelerometer and gyroscope) for different human activities and store them for use in a database. The purpose of this work is to present the module of the system that is responsible for the data acquisition, processing and storage of signals that will feed then the Machine Learning module to identify the human health status.
