In this case, appropriate actions are cued for a given context. The context is defined by the intention of the users, the state of the objects and the tasks for which these objects can be used. This requires objects to be instrumented so that they can recognize the actions that users perform. In order to provide appropriate cues, the objects also need to be able to display information to users, e.g., by changing their physical appearance or by providing auditory output. We discuss the ways in which information can be displayed to cue user action.","PeriodicalId":200810,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th EAI International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131687483","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}

Building upon the natural human understanding that smiling is an expression of happiness, studies have shown that the process of smiling in a genuine manner can help to improve an individual's happiness. To date, approaches that measure happiness have relied upon subjective self-assessment using one of a wide range of questionnaires. However, more recently, Affective Technology has emerged that provides the potential to move towards a more objective assessment of happiness. This paper describes a proposed study aimed at evaluating a bespoke smartphone-based affective technology that attempts to promote happiness through smiling, by reminding participants to smile on a regular basis.","PeriodicalId":200810,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th EAI International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126599898","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 found that the affective benefits of exercise motivated respondents to become more active. In this paper, we report on the affective benefits that resulted from exercise, what users perceived as causing those affective benefits, and what impact feeling good from being active had on their intentions for future exercise.

We claim that if the proper gesture recognition algorithms are applied, the recognition of natural gestures i.e. 3-D gestures easily performed by an individual can be accurate enough to be useful in everyday life activities. Symbolic Aggregate Approximation (SAX) and Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) methodologies are utilized in this context and evaluated using a set of six 3-D natural gestures.","PeriodicalId":200810,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th EAI International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132396119","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}

However, in each city, the effort to control the air quality is low. Plenty of studies report the importance of quality of air, but majority of them is based on outdoors air quality that do not consider or track people outside or inside a building. In this study, we have analyzed the largest electronic medical records (EMR) in New York City and air pollution data collected from environmental protection agency (EPA) to identify environmental diseases impacted by air pollution. We have identified that the different environmental diseases are significantly enriched to certain geographic areas influenced by surrounding environment. Therefore, using this data-driven approach, we are here to present a new Internet of Things network concept. The new architecture based on LoRaWAN has the objective to bypass most of the issues encountered in these years to collect patient data as well as to improve the telemedicine. At the same time, the network can open new scenario of crowdsourcing to improve the granularity of data collection. Third-party companies can use IoT infrastructure to test new devices and to integrate the existing data sets.","PeriodicalId":200810,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th EAI International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123235945","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}

Patients struggle to adapt to life with SCI, especially when they go home after rehabilitation. We conducted a field study to understand how self-care plans work for patients in their lived experience and what requirements there might be for an augmentative system. We found that patients develop their own self-care plans over time, and that routinization plays a key role in SCI self-care. Importantly, self-care activities exist in different states of routinization that have implications for the technological support that should be provided. Our findings suggest that self-care can be supported by different types of semi-automated tracking that account for the different routinization of activities, the collaborative nature of care, and the life-long, dynamic nature of this condition. The findings from our study also extend recent guidelines for semi-automated tracking in health.","PeriodicalId":200810,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th EAI International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125016047","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}

However, sharing this data to compute aggregate statistics and comparisons is a basic building block for a range of medical studies based on large-scale consumer devices; such studies have the potential to transform how we study disease and behavior. Furthermore, informing users as to how their health measurements and activities compare with friends, demographic peers and globally has been shown to be a powerful tool for behavior change and management in individuals. While experienced organizations can safely perform aggregate user health analysis, there is a significant need for new privacy-preserving mechanisms that enable people to engage in the same way even with untrusted third parties (e.g., small/recently established organizations). In this work, we propose a new approach to this problem grounded in the use of deep distributed behavior models. These are discriminative deep learning models that can approximate the calculation of various aggregate functions. Models are bootstrapped with training data from a modestly sized cohort and then distributed directly to personal devices to estimate, for example, how the user (perhaps in terms of daily step counts) ranks/compares to various demographics ranges (like age and sex). Critically, the user's own data now never has to leave the device. We validate this method using a 1.2M-user 22-month dataset that spans body-weight, sleep hours and step counts collected by devices from Nokia Digital Health - Withings. Experiments show our framework remains accurate for a range of commonly used statistical aggregate functions. This result opens a powerful new paradigm for privacy-preserving analytics under which user data largely remains on personal devices, overcoming a variety of potential privacy risks.","PeriodicalId":200810,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th EAI International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare","volume":"58 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114060278","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}
