LIMITATIONS 
Although  the  use  of  classification  models  such  as 
Long  short-term  memory  (LSTM),  Bi-directional 
Long  short-term  memory,  Convolutional  Neural 
Network (CNN) and Convolutional LSTM, etc., is a 
fairly common approach to predicting the movement 
of a  person, this  study does  not provide the  needed 
generalization  with  the  hand-oriented  activities.  We 
have  not,  for  example,  examined  differences  in  the 
performance  metrics  of  the  eating  activity  when 
forecasting the raw values of  the last 30  seconds of 
the watch accelerometer.

CONCLUSION 
In  this  study,  we  classified  smartphone  and 
smartwatch  accelerometer  and  gyroscope  data.  We 
classified the majority of the activities using artificial 
neural network algorithms, including Long short-term 
memory  (LSTM),  Bi-directional  Long  short-term 
memory, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and 
Convolutional  LSTM. Our classification analysis on 
15  different  activities  resulted  in  an  average 
classification accuracy of more than 91%    in our best 
performing  model.  Although  previous  findings 
indicated that 6 human activities were used during the 
analysis,  our  study  followed  several  15  human 
activities, which are  better generalized  than those in 
major studies conducted previously. It is possible  that  
outcomes  would  vary  if  over  20   or 25  human  
activities  are  used.  Future    researchers  should 
consider  investigating  the  impact  of  more  human 
activities. Nonetheless, our results provide the needed 
generalization  for  non-hand  oriented  activities 
recognition cases only.
