“…Authors in (Seong et al, 2014) propose the use of smartwatches to collect data from external devices through peer to peer communication to enable users to track their physical activities. Authors in (Angelini et al, 2013) present a smart bracelet for elderly people to act as a personal assistant and monitory their health status, remind them to take their medications, etc. Balance (Denning et al, 2009) is a system that automatically detects the user's caloric expenditures via sensor data provided by a sensing unit on the user's hip.…”

Abstract:Sense2Health is a Quantified Self application that monitors personal exposure to environment pollution and assesses its heath-related risks. The novelty of the application is that it requires little to no active involvement by users and unlike existing applications, it correlates the individual's well-being to their environment as opposed to their physical activity alone. Consequently, when health and environment data are acquired, our application enables users to better identify behavior changes towards enhancing their health by enhancing their environments. Furthermore, Sense2Health is an open platform for integrating existing domain-specific sensing applications (environmental and health monitoring) focused on decreasing required specialized development efforts. We present in this paper the design of Sense2Health in addition to a proof-of-concept implementation for a noise-monitoring use case. Afterwards, we assess its performance while integrating it with a dedicated open source noise sensing application.

“…First, there is the recent surge of commercial electronic bracelets [6]. Some of the applications that are supported by these bracelets include monitoring daily exercise [5], medical conditions [7] or social awareness [8] [9]. Unlike TagMe, commercial bracelets typically only support a fixed, predefined set of applications.…”

In this paper we present an end-user toolkit for easy creation of responsive objects and environments. TagMe consists of a wearable device that recognizes the object or surface the user is touching. The user can make everyday objects come to life through the use of RFID tag stickers, which are read by a RFID bracelet whenever the user touches the object. We present a novel approach to create simple and customizable rules based on emotional attachment to objects and social interactions of people. Using this simple technology, the user can extend their application interfaces to include physical objects and surfaces into their personal environment, allowing people to communicate through everyday objects in very low effort ways. This paper discusses different applications for this type of technology as well as the implementation of the bracelet prototype and the supporting smartphone application.

Technology is actually weaving itself into 'the fabric of everyday life' (as predicted by Weiser). Nowadays, computational systems can be embedded in garments or body accessory, such as clothes, shirts, eyeglasses, bracelets and watches. This new technological revolution is deeply changing the human life and society. The Atelier of Smart Garments and Accessories workshop aims to bring together researchers from the academia and the industry in order to establish a multidisciplinary community interested in discovering and exploring the challenges and opportunities coming from this technological revolution.
