Abstract |
This paper presents an always-on and always accessible mobile application, namely Fit Buddy, which will help users track their personal fitness statistics. The application focuses on step counting from both walking and running using a smartphone. The Fit Buddy can be linked to a user’s social media account and rank the user’s fitness data compared with those of friends who are on the same social network. By utilizing SensorCore data from a smartphone, user’s daily steps, active time and location can be tracked and recorded without the need for human interaction because of the always-on aspect of the application. Users also have immediate access to the history data. The Fit Buddy makes personalized daily goals easier to commit and achieve. It gives the users a simple and effective method of motivation to do more exercise. |
