Abstract
This paper describes a novel cyber-physical system (CPS) called MIRUWS (Multi-function Integrated Reliable and Unconscious Virtual Vital Sensor), which can continuously, precisely and concurrently estimate wellness data comprising emotion, vital and life data. Several types of physical domain sensor can be implemented in various parts of the body, such as the human body or a car body. The virtual sensor is realized by combining physical sensors and software analysis on an edge device and cloud server, respectively. As the performance of the virtual sensor is determined by the performance of both the physical sensors and the software analysis, it is necessary to define the virtual sensor as a single entity. This paper presents the combined performance of the virtual sensor in the form of the sleep stage and sleep apnea syndrome and blood stream pressure estimation performance of MIRUWS. In addition to the above features, MIRUWS offers highly secure personal health record (PHR) and privacy control functions. Since wellness data is highly sensitive, we believe that secure storage and privacy control are essential for a wide variety of wellness data applications. This paper demonstrates that MIRUWS is a novel cyber-based wellness sensor with secure storage and privacy control functionalities.
