Objective To review current trends and issues in the development and use of mobile apps for public health surveillance and decision making in settings with different resource availability and technological development. The panel discussion will address cross-cutting issues of general interest, including timeliness, recruitment, validation, and engagement by presenting innovative examples of app...

This chapter presents how the use of context can support user interaction in mobile applications. It argues that context in mobile applications can be used not only for locating users and providing them with suitable information, but also for supporting the system’s selection of appropriate interaction techniques and providing users with a tool necessary for composing and creating their own mob...

BACKGROUND Government agencies in the United States are creating mobile health (mHealth) apps as part of recent policy changes initiated by the White House's Digital Government Strategy. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to understand the institutional and managerial barriers for the implementation of mHealth, as well as the resulting adoption pathways of mHealth. METHODS This articl...

This paper describes an Android mobile application that allows voice communications through short-range wireless networks, mainly Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The application is able to replicate as close as possible the behavior of a twoway radio device. The application is designed to receive audio streams from multiple devices simultaneously and to send them. The main design considerations of the app...

Middleware solutions for wired distributed systems cannot be used in a mobile setting, as mobile applications impose new requirements that run counter to the principle of transparency on which current middleware systems have been built. We propose the use of reflection capabilities and meta-data to pave the way for a new generation of middleware platforms designed to support mobility.

Mobile Learning has a potential to improve efficiency in the education sector and expand educational opportunities to underserved communities in remote areas. However there are a multitude of challenges faced when introducing and implementing m-learning. It is possible that within 10 to 20 years there will be one global mobile campus. Very much unfocused issues are security management even thou...

Prolonged sitting time is a potential health risk, not only for people with an inactive lifestyle, but also for those who do meet the recommended amount of physical activity. In this paper, we evaluate SitCoach, a mobile application to nudge people from their seats. The application is targeted to office workers. SitCoach monitors physical activity and sedentary behavior to provide timely feedba...

Geographic information crowdsourcing is an increasingly popular approach to derive geographic data about human settlements from remotely sensed imagery. However, crowdsourcing approaches are frequently associated with uncertainty about the quality of the information produced. Although previous studies have found acceptable quality of crowdsourced information in some application domains, there i...

Utilizing the location-awareness of mobile devices in developing innovative mobile application system has attracted much attention of academic researchers and commercial application developers. Location-based mobile learning systems have taken the advantage of the mobile devices to enhance learner’s interaction with the learning context. This paper presents the 5R adaptation framework for locat...
