This paper describes a data warehouse approach to environmentally friendly transportation nudging. Transportation makes up a significant part of global carbon emissions. These emissions impacts both the climate and the health of individuals. As such, efforts should be done to address transportation patterns and habits. In addition to the reduction of air pollution, making people more active ...

DaoCron is a service which enables users to schedule tasks periodically. The Distributed Arctic Observatory (DAO) aims to improve the data collection from the arctic tundra using Observation Units (OUs). These OUs are given a set of tasks which they are expected to schedule at certain intervals. In order to schedule these tasks at certain time-intervals one can make use of Cron, which is a tool for ...

The purpose of this project was to design and implement a mobile application for people with bowel dysfunctions, intolerances, and food allergies. The application was expected to provide all needed functionality for the target groups day to day challenges. Irritable bowel syndrome, intolerances, and food allergies affect a significant portion of the population. On a world basis, 15\% of the ...

Studies reveal that individuals with intellectual disabilities have more sedentary lifestyles than the general population. Regular physical activity is of both medical and social importance, reducing risks of cardiovascular diseases and obesity. Health organizations recommend that everyone should at least engage in 150 minutes of physical activity each week because of the beneficial health effects. There ...

The topic of a more sustainable environment has been a core factor to governments and the public for many years. Sustainability in land transportation brings about less emission of greenhouse gases, less pollution, less traffic, a healthier and more active society. Ignorance to sustainability has brought about several environmental and human concerns including global warming. Global warming is the ...

<p><i>Background</i>: Research in type 1 diabetes management has increased exponentially since the irruption of mobile health apps for its remote and self-management. Despite this fact, the features affect in the disease management and patient empowerment are adopted by app makers and provided to the general population remain unexplored.</p> <p><i>Objective</i>: To study the gap between literature ...

Accelerometers objectively monitor physical activity, and ongoing research suggests they can also detect patterns of body movement. However, different types of signal (uniaxial, captured by older studies, vs. the newer triaxial) and or/device (validated Actigraph used by older studies, vs. others) may lead to incomparability of results from different time periods. Standardization is desirable. We ...

Time lag in detecting disease outbreaks remains a threat to global health security. Currently, our research team is working towards a system called EDMON, which uses blood glucose level and other supporting parameters from people with type 1 diabetes, as indicator variables for outbreak detection. Therefore, this paper aims to pinpoint the state of the art cluster detection mechanism towards developing ...

Cloud providers offering Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) are increasingly being trusted by customers to store sensitive data. Companies often monetize such personal data through curation and analysis, providing customers with personalized application experiences and targeted advertisements. Personal data is often accompanied by strict privacy and security policies, requiring data processing to be ...
