How will the Internet of Things enable Augmented Personalized Health?
Internet-of-Things (IoT) is profoundly redefining the way we create, consume,
and share information. Health aficionados and citizens are increasingly using
IoT technologies to track their sleep, food intake, activity, vital body
signals, and other physiological observations. This is complemented by IoT
systems that continuously collect health-related data from the environment and
inside the living quarters. Together, these have created an opportunity for a
new generation of healthcare solutions. However, interpreting data to
understand an individual's health is challenging. It is usually necessary to
look at that individual's clinical record and behavioral information, as well
as social and environmental information affecting that individual. Interpreting
how well a patient is doing also requires looking at his adherence to
respective health objectives, application of relevant clinical knowledge and
the desired outcomes.
We resort to the vision of Augmented Personalized Healthcare (APH) to exploit
the extensive variety of relevant data and medical knowledge using Artificial
Intelligence (AI) techniques to extend and enhance human health to presents
various stages of augmented health management strategies: self-monitoring,
self-appraisal, self-management, intervention, and disease progress tracking
and prediction. kHealth technology, a specific incarnation of APH, and its
application to Asthma and other diseases are used to provide illustrations and
discuss alternatives for technology-assisted health management. Several
prominent efforts involving IoT and patient-generated health data (PGHD) with
respect converting multimodal data into actionable information (big data to
smart data) are also identified. Roles of three components in an evidence-based
semantic perception approach- Contextualization, Abstraction, and
Personalization are discussed

Living Innovation Laboratory Model Design and Implementation
Living Innovation Laboratory (LIL) is an open and recyclable way for
multidisciplinary researchers to remote control resources and co-develop user
centered projects. In the past few years, there were several papers about LIL
published and trying to discuss and define the model and architecture of LIL.
People all acknowledge about the three characteristics of LIL: user centered,
co-creation, and context aware, which make it distinguished from test platform
and other innovation approaches. Its existing model consists of five phases:
initialization, preparation, formation, development, and evaluation.
Goal Net is a goal-oriented methodology to formularize a progress. In this
thesis, Goal Net is adopted to subtract a detailed and systemic methodology for
LIL. LIL Goal Net Model breaks the five phases of LIL into more detailed steps.
Big data, crowd sourcing, crowd funding and crowd testing take place in
suitable steps to realize UUI, MCC and PCA throughout the innovation process in
LIL 2.0. It would become a guideline for any company or organization to develop
a project in the form of an LIL 2.0 project.
To prove the feasibility of LIL Goal Net Model, it was applied to two real
cases. One project is a Kinect game and the other one is an Internet product.
They were both transformed to LIL 2.0 successfully, based on LIL goal net based
methodology. The two projects were evaluated by phenomenography, which was a
qualitative research method to study human experiences and their relations in
hope of finding the better way to improve human experiences. Through
phenomenographic study, the positive evaluation results showed that the new
generation of LIL had more advantages in terms of effectiveness and efficiency.Comment: This is a book draf
Pervasive CSCW for smart spaces communities
Future pervasive environments will take into consideration not only individual users' interest, but also social relationships. In today's scenarios, the trend is to make use of collective intelligence, where the interpretation of context information can be harnessed as input for pervasive systems. Therefore, social CSCW applications represent new challenges and possibilities in terms of use of group context information for adaptability and personalization in pervasive computing. The objective of this paper is to present two enterprise scenarios that support collaboration and adaption capabilities through pervasive communities combined with social computing. Collaborative applications integrated with pervasive communities can increase the activity's quality of the end user in a wide variety of tasks

Health monitoring systems involve processing and analysis of data retrieved from smartphones, smart watches, smart bracelets, as well as various sensors and wearable devices. Such systems enable continuous monitoring of patients psychological and health conditions by sensing and transmitting measurements such as heart rate, electrocardiogram, body temperature, respiratory rate, chest sounds, or blood pressure. Pervasive healthcare, as a relevant application domain in this context, aims at revolutionizing the delivery of medical services through a medical assistive environment and facilitates the independent living of patients. In this chapter, we discuss (1) data collection, fusion, ownership and privacy issues; (2) models, technologies and solutions for medical data processing and analysis; (3) big medical data analytics for remote health monitoring; (4) research challenges and opportunities in medical data analytics; (5) examples of case studies and practical solutions
Health Promotion for Childhood Obesity: An Approach Based on Self-Tracking of Data
[EN]At present, obesity and overweight are a global health epidemic. Traditional interventions
for promoting healthy habits do not appear to be e ective. However, emerging technological solutions
based on wearables and mobile devices can be useful in promoting healthy habits. These applications
generate a considerable amount of tracked activity data. Consequently, our approach is based on
the quantified-self model for recommending healthy activities. Gamification can also be used as
a mechanism to enhance personalization, increasing user motivation. This paper describes the
quantified-self model and its data sources, the activity recommender system, and the PROVITAO
App user experience model. Furthermore, it presents the results of a gamified program applied for
three years in children with obesity and the process of evaluating the quantified-self model with
experts. Positive outcomes were obtained in children’s medical parameters and health habits
