Smartphone as data collector in health monitoring

Published: 01 October 2018 Publication History

Editorial Notes

NOTICE OF CONCERN: ACM has received evidence that casts doubt on the integrity of the peer review process for the DATA 2018 Conference. As a result, ACM is issuing a Notice of Concern for all papers published and strongly suggests that the papers from this Conference not be cited in the literature until ACM's investigation has concluded and final decisions have been made regarding the integrity of the peer review process for this Conference.

Abstract

Sensing health and well-being parameters from citizens and patients has been an increasing concern in our society. However, since the traditional data collection methods rely mostly on dedicated and expensive equipments, in the recent years, the potential of smartphones has been largely investigated because of its unobtrusiveness and embedded sensors. In this paper, we evaluate the use of smartphones as data collector in health monitoring, focusing on its sensing technologies and on the data they typically collect. Moreover, we will discuss the users' expectations, the current limitations of available solutions, and the gap between both.
