Wearable devices continuously generate activity, sleep, heart-rate, calorie, intensity, and other behavioral measurements. These observations are frequently distributed across heterogeneous files with different schemas, timestamps, and sampling granularities, making longitudinal interpretation difficult. This paper presents LifeTrack, an integrated statistical and probabilistic framework for transforming multi-source wearable-health data into interpretable behavioral information. The framework combines Gaussian z-score analysis for deviation detection, Shannon entropy for behavioral variability, a Behavioral Consistency Index (BCI) for composite lifestyle stability, and Markov-chain modeling for short-term behavioral-state prediction. Up to eighteen Fitbit-style datasets can be processed through a unified temporal preprocessing pipeline. The system creates a daily analytical representation, identifies unusual patterns, quantifies routine irregularity, classifies behavioral conditions into Healthy, Moderate, and Unstable states, and estimates probabilistic state transitions. Optional ARIMA forecasting is incorporated for continuous BCI trend analysis. The framework is intended for research and self-monitoring rather than medical diagnosis. By connecting complementary statistical, information-theoretic, and probabilistic methods, LifeTrack provides a transparent pathway from raw wearable observations to personalized behavioral analytics.
KEYWORDS
This paper presented LifeTrack, an integrated statistical and probabilistic framework for anomaly detection and behavioral prediction using heterogeneous wearable-health data. The system connects data preprocessing, Gaussian z-score analysis, Shannon entropy, a Behavioral Consistency Index, behavioral-state classification, Markov prediction, and optional ARIMA forecasting. The central contribution is the combination of complementary analytical perspectives in a single interpretable pipeline. Gaussian analysis provides point-wise deviation information, entropy measures broader variability, BCI summarizes multiple behavioral dimensions, and Markov modeling adds sequential prediction. This creates a structured pathway from raw wearable observations to understandable behavioral information. The framework provides a practical foundation for research and personalized lifestyle analytics. Its modular architecture can be extended with robust anomaly detection, adaptive personalization, explainable machine learning, real-time streaming, multimodal sensing, and privacy-preserving computation. The system should remain an analytical and research tool unless its predictions are independently validated for a specific health or clinical application.
