ABSTRACT
Urban spaces have a great influence on how people feel and behave. There is a number of factors that affect our health in outdoor space. In this paper, we objectively propose a new way to measure environmental noise impact on health and reactions in places by monitoring their physiological signals in relation to their health and wellbeing. By integrating wearable biosensors with smartphones, we will be able to get multi-devices, geo-annotated and synchronous measurements from users in crowd sourcing fashion. The data then aggregated and analyzed to visualize the body responses data by creating layers over a geographical map. Consequently, we can establish a better understanding of the interdependency between health and environmental surroundings.

Modeling Environmental Noise Using Artificial Neural Networks
ISDA '09: Proceedings of the 2009 Ninth International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and ApplicationsSince 1972, when the World Health Organization (WHO) classified noise as a pollutant, most industrialized countries have enacted laws or local regulations that regulate noise levels. Many scientists have tried to model urban noise, but the results have ...
