In order to provide more effective health care, especially to the elderly, we must enable the physician to monitor the patient outside of the clinic or hospital. A patient's activities are a critical indicator of his or her well-being, and the physician must have an un-intrusive and inexpensive means of monitoring patient activity. The objective of this project was to design and construct a low-cost, low-power, six degree-of-freedom inertial activity monitor that can be used with a portable computer. In this thesis, I describe the design and implementation of a such a monitor that can communicate using several popular peripheral bus protocols. I describe a simple attitude estimation filter and give a qualitative assessment of its performance. by David Lee Nelson.
