代谢综合征是导致动脉硬化、心脏病、中风等疾病的重要原因之一，已成为人类生活中的一个严重问题。为了防止一个人成为代谢综合征，重要的是要知道自己目前的实际腹围，并照顾自己。然而，任何可穿戴设备都不能测量腹围。在本文中，我们提出并实现了一种带式可穿戴设备，称为“WaistonBelt”，和一个智能手机应用程序，可以永远保持监测腹围。“WaistonBelt”可以用普通的动作测量腹围，并且可以可视化腹围的过渡。通过实验评估，我们确认我们的系统可以测量腹围，误差为0.66%。
Metabolic syndrome becomes a serious problem in our life, because it is one of the reasons of arteriosclerosis, heart disease or stroke. In order to prevent a person from becoming a metabolic syndrome, it is important to know own current actual abdominal circumference, and care by yourself. However, any wearable devices cannot measure abdominal circumference. In this paper, we propose and implement a belt-type wearable device, called "WaistonBelt", and a smartphone application that can keep monitoring an abdominal circumference forever. "WaistonBelt" can measure an abdominal circumference with ordinary action, and can visualize a transition of it. Through an experimental evaluation, we confirm that our system can measure an abdominal circumference with 0.66% error.
