• Metabolic syndrome poses a significant health challenge worldwide, prompting the need for comprehensive strategies integrating physical activity monitoring and energy expenditure. Wearable sensor devices have been used both for energy intake and energy expenditure (EE) estimation. Traditionally, sensors are attached to the hip or wrist. The primary aim of this research is to investigate the use of an eyeglass-mounted wearable energy intake sensor (Automatic Ingestion Monitor v2, AIM-2) for simultaneous recognition of physical activity (PAR) and estimation of steady-state EE as compared to a traditional hip-worn device. Study data were collected from six participants performing six structured activities, with the reference EE measured using indirect calorimetry (COSMED K5) and reported as metabolic equivalents of tasks (METs). Next, a novel deep convolutional neural network-based multitasking model (Multitasking-CNN) was developed for PAR and EE estimation. The Multitasking-CNN was trained with a two-step progressive training approach for higher accuracy, where in the first step the model for PAR was trained, and in the second step the model was fine-tuned for EE estimation. Finally, the performance of Multitasking-CNN on AIM-2 attached to eyeglasses was compared to the ActiGraph GT9X (AG) attached to the right hip. On the AIM-2 data, Multitasking-CNN achieved a maximum of 95% testing accuracy of PAR, a minimum of 0.59 METs mean square error (MSE), and 11% mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) in EE estimation. Conversely, on AG data, the Multitasking-CNN model achieved a maximum of 82% testing accuracy in PAR, a minimum of 0.73 METs MSE, and 13% MAPE in EE estimation. These results suggest the feasibility of using an eyeglass-mounted sensor for both PAR and EE estimation.
