The paper presents a part of a prototype system for the monitoring of selected vital functions of humans and some preliminary results obtained from the device using implemented algorithm. The system consists of such essential modules like a microcontroller board, an inertial measurement unit and additional sensors. The main task of the device is human movement monitoring and detecting selected anomalies, e.g. fall or fainting. At the first stage, the movement classification was considered. The main movement type are walking, running and selected variants of transitions between different phases like standing up or going downstairs. The determining of the movement is based on the intuitive algorithm using raw data from accelerometers complemented by sensors like barometer and heart rate monitor. The algorithm utilizes automated multiscale-based peak detection and wavelet transform energy calculations. Finally, some further work directions and development possibilities are discussed.
