Wearable devices emerged from the advancement of communication technology and the miniaturization of electronic components. These devices periodically monitor the user's vital signs and generally have a short battery life. This work introduces ODIN, a model for optimized vital signs collection based on adaptive rules. Analyzing vital sign values requires preciseness, so the adaption of these collected data allows a personalized analysis of the user's health condition. The comparison with related works indicates that ODIN is the only model that presents context-aware-adaptive vital signs collection. The implementation of a prototype allowed to perform three evaluations of ODIN. The first evaluation used simulations in different scenarios, with the adaptive approach increasing battery life by 119% through the analysis of input data compared to data collection without adaptivity. The second evaluation applied the prototype to a database of real physiologic data, which allowed reduced data collection when the user has regular vital signs. This reduction optimized battery consumption by 66% compared to collection without adaptivity. Finally, the third evaluation applied ODIN through an Arduino and a heart rate monitor (Polar H7). The average power saved across mobile devices was 21%. Consequently, the adaptive strategy presented in this work allows the optimization of computational resources during the collection and analysis of vital signs. This optimization occurs because of the reduction in energy expenditure and the reduction in the amount of data that needs to be collected and stored.

Attention, particularly self-attention, is a standard in current NLP literature, but to achieve meaningful models, attention is not enough.
