技术提供了客观监测人们的饮食和活动行为并鼓励更健康的生活方式的潜力。BALANCE是一个基于手机的长期健康管理系统。BALANCE系统通过佩戴在臀部的移动传感平台单元的传感器数据自动检测用户的热量消耗。用户通过N95手机上的界面手动输入所吃食物的信息。最初的验证实验测量了跑步机行走和慢跑时的耗氧量，结果表明该系统对热量输出的估计在实际值的87%以内。未来的工作将改进并继续评估系统的有效性，并开发更健壮的数据输入和活动推理方法。
Technology offers the potential to objectively monitor people’s eating and activity behaviors and encourage healthier lifestyles. BALANCE is a mobile phone-based system for long term wellness management. The BALANCE system automatically detects the user’s caloric expenditure via sensor data from a Mobile Sensing Platform unit worn on the hip. Users manually enter information on foods eaten via an interface on an N95 mobile phone. Initial validation experiments measuring oxygen consumption during treadmill walking and jogging show that the system’s estimate of caloric output is within 87% of the actual value. Future work will refine and continue to evaluate the system’s efficacy and develop more robust data input and activity inference methods.
