Sandip Dutta, Soumen Roy, Purba Banerjee, Utpal Roy . Smartphone-based Gait Authentication for Health Insurance Incentives: A Data-Driven Approach to Verify Walking Compliance. International Journal of Computer Applications. 186, 46 ( Nov 2024), 1-13. DOI=10.5120/ijca2024924109
Some of few health insurance companies now offer lower premiums to people who walk 10,000 steps every day. The main problem in this plan is figuring out who qualifies. We suggest using data from smartphone sensors while people walk. This data can track steps and confirm who’s walking. This could help prevent misuse of the program. In response to the aforementioned conundrum, we have procured and meticulously analysed the gait patterns of 87 volunteers. Our investigation has determined that the Scale Manhattan an efficacious anomaly detector, suitable for individual verification in active mode, achieving an equal error rate from 10.20% to 13.76%. Our proposed detection system has undergone validation procedures employing datasets gathered across multiple sessions and repetitions. Based on a judiciously conducted realistic appraisal of the proposed model for each subject, we assert that this method of individual authentication holds merit for the aforementioned campaign, engendering tangible benefits for prospective beneficiaries. Beyond the immediate insurance incentives, this approach possesses the potential to motivate individuals not only to procure insurance coverage but also to foster their physical and psychological well-being. Our innovative methodology provides a substantive solution for health insurance companies contemplating the implementation of analogous promotional endeavours.
