Healthopia: towards your well-being in everyday life

In this paper, we propose Healthopia, a full-fledged health monitoring platform. With the prevalence of smartphones and wearable health sensors, sensor-enabled mobile well-being applications emerge, for instance, calorie monitor [13], fall detector [11], pollution detector, heartbeat monitor [1][4]. Despite the importance and usefulness of such applications, it is significantly challenging to develop such applications; developers should concern about many complicated issues, such as accurate data analysis and inferring, distributed programming over multiple sensing devices, resource optimization. To address such issues, and facilitate the development and deployment of the applications, we develop Healthopia platform. Using the declarative query-based API, applications can easily delegate monitoring requests for diverse health information, e.g., calorie consumption, heart condition, pollution level. Healthopia takes care of complicated underlying issues in sensor data processing and resource management, and delivers the requested health information. In this paper, we propose a novel sensor control technique applied in Healthopia, which reduces battery power significantly.
