Abstract:
The number of bedridden elderly individuals has increased due to the aging population in the world. Many countries strive to solve this issue through health promotion programs. One effective method of health promotion to maintain the health and well-being of elderly individuals is daily exercise. Nevertheless, elderly individuals often lack the means to assess the efficacy of their daily exercise routines. This problem results in low motivation and hinders their ability to enhance their health promotion efforts. With current technological advancements, it is possible to quantitatively measure the effectiveness of daily exercise to enhance motivation and improve health outcomes. In Society 5.0, researchers have extensively proposed cyber-physical-social systems (CPSS) for health promotion. In cyberspace, CPSS seamlessly connects physical space at the microscopic level and social space at the macroscopic level. However, previous methods rarely focus on the coupling mechanism of human physical and cognitive abilities in CPSS. As a result, connecting microscopic and macroscopic levels presents a challenge due to the lack of CPSS designs. The mesoscopic level is expected to serve as an intermediary layer to effectively bridge the gap between these two levels. In discussing the mesoscopic level, I focus on the perceiving-acting cycle to model the interaction and build knowledge in CPSS. This coupling mechanism describes how humans continuously engage with their surroundings in embodied integration. In essence, the embodied integration underscores the reflective interconnection between cognitive processes and the perception of the physical body and its interactions. Incorporating embodied sensing, perception, and cognition into multi-scopic CPSS is vital to addressing the lack of integration and enhancing the effectiveness of health promotion.

This study proposes the multi-scopic CPSS by embodied integration, emphasizing the concept of the perceiving-acting cycle. At the microscopic level, I focus on developing an embodied sensing based on hand skeleton data to gain a detailed understanding of hand motion with posture. The mesoscopic level involves embodied perception rooted in hand-eye coordination, enabling the analysis of hand action based on hand-object interaction and visual attention. At the macroscopic level, I incorporate embodied cognition based on a knowledge graph to assess cognitive abilities relevant to human behavior. To evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed system, we conduct assessments in the chopsticks manipulation test (CMT) and the block design test (BDT), which offer valuable insights into the progress and capabilities of individuals undergoing health promotion. Finally, the micro-meso-macro loop for embodied integration is introduced by applying the bottom-up and top-down approaches for hand activity. The experimental results of the multi-scopic CPSS based on embodied integration have been thoroughly analyzed from microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic perspectives. In conclusion, the micro-meso-macro loop indicates that interaction modeling and knowledge building can improve the effectiveness of strategies for health promotion. This study also highlights that the perceiving-acting cycle enhances the efficiency of health promotion through context modeling. Finally, in the practical application, this approach enables individuals to access and monitor their well-being, significantly facilitating their ability to make informed decisions to improve their quality of life. The potential for this extension to encompass more comprehensive applications in future work holds promise for enhancing the multi-scopic CPSS adaptability of health promotion programs.
