Third Nurse Care Activity Recognition Challenge 2021 - Call for Participation

https://abc-research.github.io/nurse2021/



In an aging population, the demand for nurse workers increases to care for elders. Helping nurse workers make their work more efficiently, will help increase the elder quality of life, as the nurses can focus their efforts on care-activities instead of other activities such as documentation.

Activity Recognition can be used for this goal. If we can recognize what activity a nurse is engaged in, we can partially automate documentation process to reduce time spent on this task, monitor care plan compliance to assure that all care activities have been done for each elder, among others.

Following two successful challenges, the third Nurse Care Activity Recognition Challenge (2021) will provide participants with data from a real nurse care facility in Japan. Real-world data has labeling inaccuracies (start time and end time are not accurately provided by the nurses), missing data (as some phones run out of battery), and other challenges not considered in laboratory data. Participants will have to design models robust to such challenges to recognize activities in two unseen weeks of data.
