Demo abstract: WearableHUB: An open pervasive wearable data fusion platform for personal health management

Abstract

The past years has seen the emergence and fast growing of various wearable devices, such as smart watches, wrist bands, rings, glasses, jewelry, garments, etc. Although wearable devices have a wide usage scope, healthcare is one of the most promising field which is being exploited by a number of big enterprises and research institutes. However, existing healthcare related wearable products usually work individually. There is almost no data transmission or information exchange between different kinds of devices, which prevents data fusion of multiple devices and development of upper layer healthcare applications. In this demo, we present WearableHUB, a mobile phone based open pervasive wearable data fusion platform for personal health management. WearableHUB can transform multimodal data (motion data, physiological indices, etc.) into unified format according to predefined standard. Other than traditional wearable computing system, WearableHUB not only can get preloaded function results from different devices based on module library according to data type and device position, but also can trigger and get dynamic online downloaded APP function base on fusing multimodal data and extracting higher level information.
