RevalExo: A Functional Daily-Activity Benchmark for Inertial and Visual Locomotion Mode Recognition in Older Adults and Clinical Cohorts

Assistive devices for people with mobility impairments, such as powered exoskeletons, rely on accurate locomotion mode recognition to adapt control strategies and provide appropriate assistance during daily activities. However, public benchmarks are typically collected from healthy adults, lack temporally precise labels necessary for detecting mode transitions, or focus on a limited set of tasks. To support development and evaluation under realistic clinical constraints and daily mobility demands, we introduce RevalExo, a functional daily-activity benchmark for inertial and visual locomotion mode recognition. RevalExo is built around a standardized, clinically and ecologically validated daily-activity protocol reflecting the cumulative everyday mobility demands in ageing and clinical populations. The benchmark includes 27 participants across three cohorts: older adults without mobility impairments, stroke survivors, and older adults with probable sarcopenia. The full cohort was recorded with lower-body IMUs, while synchronized egocentric video was collected for a clinically feasible subset of 13 participants. RevalExo provides 10.1 hours of frame-level annotations across 11 locomotion modes, including 5.1 hours of paired inertial--visual recordings. We benchmark three challenges: unimodal and multimodal locomotion mode recognition across multiple horizons, cross-population generalization from older adults without mobility impairments to clinical cohorts, and vision-guided knowledge transfer to IMU-only models. Results confirm consistent gains from fusing inertial and visual inputs but reveal a substantial gap between general recognition ($\sim$93\% F1) and recognition during transitions ($\sim$68\% F1), alongside persistent challenges in cross-population generalization and cross-modal transfer. We release RevalExo to stimulate further research on these open challenges.

Towards Context-Aware Clinical Motion Understanding in Daily Living at Home: Freezing of Gait Detection with Egocentric Vision

Understanding motion in daily living requires context beyond kinematics, because similar inertial patterns during activities of daily living (ADLs) can reflect intentional stopping, object interaction, or pathological movement impairment. Egocentric vision provides task-related context that may help disambiguate these cases. We investigate this challenge through freezing of gait (FOG) detection in Parkinson's disease (PD), a symptom strongly influenced by contextual factors during ADLs. Using synchronized egocentric video, wearable IMUs, and expert-annotated FOG labels collected from 13 PD participants in their homes, we evaluate frozen representations from pretrained ego-video and time-series foundation models, alongside an IMU-based TCN trained from scratch, under leave-one-subject-out evaluation. The IMU-based TCN achieved the strongest event-detection performance, reaching 42.3 F1 and 83.0 AUROC, compared with 32.6 F1 and 77.2 AUROC for V-JEPA2 ego-video features. Although ego-video alone did not outperform IMU-based sensing, it showed above-chance discrimination, and qualitative analyses suggest that egocentric vision may capture FOG-relevant information independent of IMUs. Together, these results support the use of pretrained ego-video representations to add contextual information to wearable-sensor-based clinical motion understanding in daily living.

HERMES: A Unified Open-Source Framework for Realtime Multimodal Physiological Sensing, Edge AI, and Intervention in Closed-Loop Smart Healthcare Applications

Intelligent assistive technologies are increasingly recognized as critical daily-use enablers for people with disabilities and age-related functional decline. Longitudinal studies, curation of quality datasets, live monitoring in activities of daily living, and intelligent intervention devices, share the largely unsolved need in reliable high-throughput multimodal sensing and processing. Streaming large heterogeneous data from distributed sensors, historically closed-source environments, and limited prior works on realtime closed-loop AI methodologies, inhibit such applications. To accelerate the emergence of clinical deployments, we deliver HERMES - an open-source high-performance Python framework for continuous multimodal sensing and AI processing at the edge. It enables synchronized data collection, and realtime streaming inference with user PyTorch models, on commodity computing devices. HERMES is applicable to fixed-lab and free-living environments, of distributed commercial and custom sensors. It is the first work to offer a holistic methodology that bridges cross-disciplinary gaps in real-world implementation strategies, and guides downstream AI model development. Its application on the closed-loop intelligent prosthesis use case illustrates the process of suitable AI model development from the generated constraints and trade-offs. Validation on the use case, with 4 synchronized hosts cooperatively capturing 18 wearable and off-body modalities, demonstrates performance and relevance of HERMES to the trajectory of the intelligent healthcare domain.
