This paper presents a miniaturized low-power platform for real-time activity recognition. The wearable sensor system comprises of accelerometers, a microphone, a light sensor and signal processing units. The recognition is performed with low-power features and a decision tree classi- fier. Power measurements show that our 4.15?2.75 cm2, 9 gram platform consumes less than 3mW and can perform continuous classification and result transmission for 129 hours on a small lithium-polymer battery.
