ACUMAAF: Ubiquitous Computing Environment for Monitoring and Evaluation of Physical Activity
Abstract
The ACUMAAF is an environment that employs Ubiquitous Computing technologies and wireless networks, in order to monitor in real time and evaluate participants of Physical Activity groups. This environment automatically collects physiologic data, and provides indicators which will support and direct public policies for promoting Physical Activity aiming at preventing Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases (CNCDs). The ACUMAAF will contribute for the promotion of health and quality of life, and for the development of new computing environments with a focus on remote and collective monitoring.
