Abstract: Technologies for attestation techniques, systems, and methods for determining an individual's movement are provided. The individual's movement is determined by passive indoor positioning technology using channel state information (CSI). A first set of data associated with an impulse or frequency response determined using channel state information (CSI) may be received from a Wireless access point located in proximity to a monitored space. A second set of data may also be received from an Internet of Things (IoT) device located in proximity to the monitored space. The first set of data may be compared to the second set of data. A profile database may be updated to replace the first set of data with the second set of data when the first and second sets of data are different.

Abstract: A method for performing a surgical procedure related to a pelvis of a patient comprises adjusting a length between ends of a digitizer device to a distance between opposite landmarks of the pelvis of the patient. The ends of the digitizer device are applied against the opposite landmarks of the pelvis. An inertial sensor unit of the digitizer device is initialized to set an orientation of the digitizer device relative to a medio-lateral axis of the patient, the medio-lateral axis of the patient being part of a pelvic coordinate system. A tool is navigated within the pelvic coordinate system during a surgical procedure.
