Research partnership: Swinburne University of Technology
HalleyAssist established a research project with Swinburne University of Technology to improve detection of unusual patterns of behaviour from sensor data — evaluating both simple single-sensor anomaly detection models and more complex multi-sensor aggregate models, aimed at flagging when a user might be unwell or incapacitated. Only anonymised, summarised data was used in any resulting publications or conference presentations.
