Abstract
In this paper, we present a data fusion visualization infrastructure for sensor signals from a remote health monitoring system. The infrastructure involves wireless interfacing with the embedded sensor system, known as the Smart Shoe. It fuses and filters the data measured and then uses it to visualize with a graphics display the extracted walking and movement patterns. The various features of the visualization infrastructure are presented, along with the implementation challenges and details.
