Evaluation of data delivery on Android application for health screening form

Abstract

This paper presents an evaluation of data delivery on Android applications implementing a health screening form. Typically, the health screening form provides an integrated view of various data (e.g. lifelog, health log, and medical history) gathered by diverse measuring devices (e.g. hear rate monitor, and inbody). From data delivering perspective, the health screening form also consists of multiple `Activity' interfaces in a single application or between collaborating applications. Therefore, we need to evaluate efficiency of data delivery among `Activity' interfaces in a single application or between applications. We use basic interfaces of Android platform such as `Intent', `Broadcastreceiver', `Contentprovider' and `Socket' providing a function of data transfer to evaluate delivery performance. The result of this work can contribute to select efficient data transfer interface while implementing the function of data delivery in Android application.
