Monitoring Activities of Daily Living Using UWB Radar Technology: A Contactless Approach

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This an interesting paper from the non wereable approach. This means the use of alternative technologies for monitoring different as contact ones as RFID. This proposal is based in UWB radar

It is useful for the paper to complete the related work or in the introduction section about the state of the art of wearable option or contact option as NFC, RFID or wireless one as BLE with beacons. The authors can develop A table comparing the alternatives.

More information about the participants is desirable.

Is the prototype public for replication?

Reviewer 2 Report

The authors devised a data-gathering system based on UWB-enabled devices, and they compared its behavior with other more "conventional" technologies.
This paper describes the experimental evaluations as well as the discussion regarding the performance of the proposed system.

The authors organized the work in a reasonable and logical way, and the overall approach is reasonably well-motivated.

However, in my opinion, the study lacks a little bit of novelty in comparison with existing literature. The proposal of implementing systems for monitoring ADLs using UWB is not certainly new (moreover considering the usage of commercial UWB devices), and it is not completely clear in which way the authors add their original contributions to the topic.

The paper has no significant language problems, and no relevant typos have been found in it.
