Unfortunately, most online recipes have no such data available or have data of suspect quality. In this paper we present a system that automatically calculates the nutritional value of recipes sourced from the Internet. This is a challenging problem for several reasons, including lack of formulaic structure in ingredient descriptions, ingredient synonymy, brand names, and unspecific quantities being assigned. We present a system that exploits linguistic properties of ingredient descriptions and nutritional knowledge modelled as rules to estimate the nutritional content of recipes. We evaluate the system on a large Internet sourced recipe database (23.5k recipes) and examine performance in terms of ability to recognise ingredients and error in nutritional values against values established by human experts. Our results show that our system can match all of the ingredients for 91% of recipes in the collection and generate nutritional values within a 10% error bound from human assessors for calorie, protein and carbohydrate values. We show that the error is less than that between multiple human assessors and also less than the error reported for different standard measures of estimating nutritional intake.","PeriodicalId":119950,"journal":{"name":"2012 6th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare (PervasiveHealth) and Workshops","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122969562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The frequency and severity of these behaviors can be very detrimental to their quality of life. Direct observation of problem behaviors is the gold standard for assessment and intervention, but it can be costly and intrusive. It also introduces specific challenges, such as lack of occurrence of episodes of problem behavior during clinical observation, and behavior reactivity in the presence of an observer. We propose a smart phone based capture system that can support parents in collecting samples of their child's problem behaviors in the home for assessment and intervention purposes. Four concept exploration and concept validation studies were conducted with parents, behavior analysts and other caregivers of children with autism in Pakistan. A prototype informed by the concept exploration studies was developed and used as a probe in the concept validation studies conducted in laboratory and real world settings. In this paper we present our findings and their impact on the ecological integration within the cultural context of a developing but conservative society.","PeriodicalId":119950,"journal":{"name":"2012 6th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare (PervasiveHealth) and Workshops","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123332350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As one possible application of this system, we set up a remote dining situation for two users. The dinner table is visually extended into the virtual environment in which a live video stream of the dining partner is shown. Great care was taken in regard to the aesthetic and device-free integration into the living room.

However, these interventions require substantial resources and can create extra burden on families. In this paper, we present the results of a qualitative design study to understand the needs of these families and their professional caregivers. These results reveal diverse challenges facing parents and clinicians attempting to document, understand, and share infant health data that must be balanced in any pervasive health solution. In particular, parents described struggling with when to collect data, while clinicians reported being more concerned about what and how parents track infant health. Based on these results, we present five design implications for applications for preterm infant care, which we incorporated into the design of Estrellita, a mobile health informatics tool to support caregivers of preterm infants.","PeriodicalId":119950,"journal":{"name":"2012 6th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare (PervasiveHealth) and Workshops","volume":"222 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115659013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eight primary caregivers and 18 secondary caregivers from low SES backgrounds used the applications to evaluate their usability and usefulness. We found a schism between primary and secondary caregivers regarding whether the applications should be based on games, indicating a need to reconcile these differences to develop a system to support healthy family snacking. In addition, social context, understandable health abstractions, and sensitivity to health values are all important considerations when creating applications in a low SES context. This research contributes design implications for future applications intended to improve snacking habits in low SES families.","PeriodicalId":119950,"journal":{"name":"2012 6th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare (PervasiveHealth) and Workshops","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128051257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present a concept of a collaborative infrastructure which generates a common operation picture in realtime. A complex, stressful and uncommon situation like an MCI creates strong psychological influences and burdens on the rescue workers. Based on our psychological findings we derived eleven special requirements for efficient and intuitive user interfaces in unstable, time-critical emergency situations. Taking the requirements into consideration we developed a concept to overcome the MCI through the combination of multiple devices. The devices are carefully chosen according to the task of the EMS personnel in the field as well as in the incident command post. Three different interfaces - PDAs for the rescue units in the field, tablet PCs for the incident commanders and a multitouch table in the incident command post - help the entire rescue team to gain efficient situational awareness.","PeriodicalId":119950,"journal":{"name":"2012 6th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare (PervasiveHealth) and Workshops","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132415084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
