Do smart phones render wearable computers obsolete? Where does the rise of the smart phone leave wearable computing research? We answer these questions by examining past, present, and future of wearable platform research.
This issue's Applications column revisits location-based applications and how far we've come since the original mobile device location-detection research started about 10 years ago. The authors discuss a number of popular location-based services and the speed at which such services have become available and commonplace. They also raise some issues about further technical challenges in privacy that...
ldquoParticipatory sensingrdquo is an exciting new paradigm where people voluntarily sense their local environment and share this data using mobile phones and the Internet. It can revolutionize applications such as intelligent transportation, public health and social networking. However, a major concern is the amount of trust that can be placed in the shared data. We address this concern in our demonstration...
The growth in numbers and capacity of mobile devices such as mobile phones coupled with widespread availability of inexpensive range of biosensors presents an unprecedented opportunity for mobile healthcare applications. In this paper we propose a novel approach for situation-aware adaptive processing (SAAP) of data streams for smart and real-time analysis of data. The implementation and evaluation...
There are many studies that collect and store life log for personal memory. The paper explains how a system can create someone's life log in an inexpensive way to share daily life events with family or friends through socialnetwork or messaging. In the modern world where people are usually busier than ever, family members are geographically distributed due to globalization of companies and humans...
The increasing ubiquity of mobile embedded systems has been matched by the evolution of a variety of wireless network standards and technologies. The major constraints of wireless embedded systems are limitations of communication bandwidth, processing capabilities, and battery power. Remote wireless embedded systems often act as sensors, which provide data to a certain community. The exchange of data...
A cellular phone based online ECG processing system for ambulatory and continuous detection has been developed. It aids cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients to monitor their heart status and detect abnormalities in their normal daily life. This system is a solution to supplement the limitations in conventional clinic examination such as the difficulty in capturing rare events, off-hospital monitoring...
