eMobility – Strategic Applications AgendaHealth and InclusionoMonitor fitness-related activitiesUtilisationCommon off-the-shelf mobile devices that are targeted to fitness purposes include several sensorsfor measuring physiological parameters in a human body, i.e., heart rate meter, 3-axisaccelerometer for step counter and energy consumption, and bio-resistance meter for fatpercentage, body water content and galvanic skin response. These sensors are integrated withinmobile phones, MP3 players and wrist-watches or are integrated in standalone mobile devices.Some examples are following:Mobile phones:Nokia 5500 mobile phone, which has an integrated step counter, includes a training diary andseveral tests of the user‘s physical condition [75].Samsung YP-60V [76] fitness-enhanced MP3 player features a heart rate monitor, caloriecounter and stop watch.Stand alone devices:Heart rate monitors, wristop computers, cycling computers and other sports and outdoorsdevices, such as those manufactured by Cardiosport [77], Oregon Scientific [78], Polar [79]and Actismile [80], are meant for a variety of outdoors activities. They can measure and displayinformation about the ongoing exercise and follow-up reports are typically generated on acomputer.ComponentsDataCharacteristicsResults from measurement devices can be forwarded by using mobile networks like GPRS to thedata base.RequirementsAvailable where GPRS networks exist.TrafficDemand high capacity wireless networks systems are needed to deliver real time information.EntitiesProfessional wellbeing and caring personnelTechnical CharacteristicsTime dependencyTime-based or non-time-based.Delivery requirementsDepend on the case that is being monitored. Could be real-time for fall detection or non real-timefor exercise monitoring.Symmetry of the connectionAsymmetric.Bit rateConstant or variable.B. Personalised applications.A short description of the existing assistive services/applications is following:I. Automatic Character Size Changing System [81]System to provide an automatic character size changing system for automatically changing the size of charactersin a sentence, such as e-mail and content of a web site displayed in a terminal.DescriptionThe automatic character size changing system has a sentence reading part for reading a sentence,the number of total reference dots calculating part for calculating the number of total reference dotsby counting how may characters are included in the read sentence, a dot counting part for countingthe number of dots used to actually display characters in the sentence, a determination part fordetermining whether to change the display of the characters of the read sentence on the basis ofthe number of total reference dots and the number of counted dots, and a display changeprocessing part for displaying the sentence on a display device of a terminal after applying21
