Using gaze is a popular way to design concepts for Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI). It is especially often used for remote or hands-free communication with for example public displays, devices within smart homes or smart watches. With the introduction of Pursuits, a new technique, that exploits the smooth pursuit eye movement, was presented. It overcomes the need for calibration before working...

In development of sustainable transportation and green city, policymakers encourage people to commute by cycling and walking instead of motor vehicles in cities. One the one hand, cycling and walking enables decrease in air pollution emissions. On the other hand, cycling and walking offer health benefits by increasing people’s physical activity. Earlier studies on investigating spatial patterns...

The number of broadly available wearable devices like smart watches or fitness bands keeps growing, as well their performance and provided features related to user's health. This was the reason for our decision bring SmartCGMS (Smart Continuous Glucose Monitoring Controlling System) a device, in order foster its way practical deployment healthcare. Currently, system is able run on Windows, macO...

This study analyzes the value created by so-called ‘‘toolkits for user innovation and design,’’ a new method of integrating customers into new product development and design. Toolkits allow customers to create their own product, which in turn is produced by the manufacturer. In the present study, questions asked were (1) if customers actually make use of the solution space offered by toolkits, ...

BACKGROUND Today, runners use wearable technology such as global positioning system (GPS)-enabled sport watches to track and optimize their training activities, for example, when participating in a road race event. For this purpose, an increasing amount of low-priced, consumer-oriented wearable devices are available. However, the variety of such devices is overwhelming. It is unclear which devi...

Wearable and mobile technology has advanced in leaps bounds the last decade with technological advances creating a role from enhancing healthy living to monitoring treating disease. However, discussion about ethical use of such commercial community, especially minors, is lacking behind. In this paper, we first summarize major concerns that arise usage commercially available wearable children, f...

Recently, photoplethysmography sensors in smart watches have been frequently used to monitor heart rate. Because a sensor flashes light on the skin and measures reflected light, rate of flashing sampling is directly related its energy consumption. It necessary reduce extend battery life watch. In this study, satisfy sub-Nyquist sampling, real-time, high accuracy requirements, we propose novel t...

These days, the most important areas of research in many different applications, with different tools, are focused on how to get awareness. One of the serious applications is the awareness of the behavior and activities of patients. The importance is due to the need of ubiquitous medical care for individuals. That the doctor knows the patient's physical condition, sometimes is very important. O...

Background Prognostication in patients with cardiac arrest (CA) is (amongst other things) dependent on the duration of the CA. However in patients with out-of-hospital CA, the patient is often handed over from the ambulance crew to hospital staff. During the hand-over ambulance crews often present a printed summary of events during the resuscitation attempt from the defibrillator. As treatment ...
