The activity tracker is implemented using the IEEE 802.15.4 ZigBee wireless standard
compliant MeshNetics MeshBean platform and their open source MAC layer imple-
mentation, OpenMAC, which uses the nesC programming language and TinyOS. The
hardware prototype assembled uses a 3-axis-accelerometer and on the software side
additional filters to detected the activity trackers state which will be transmitted via
ZigBee router to a base station for further processing.
