ELEC-419 Final Report OWLympics: A Platform for Smarter Self-reporting

چکیده
Tracking health related behaviors regularly helps in forming good health habits, which greatly improve our health status in the long run. Self-reporting is the most acceptable behavior tracking method, but it suffers from issues like recall bias and low consistency. We propose a novel platform to mitigate these issues: It can send smart reminders to the user’s smartphone soon after completion of an activity to be reported; the reminders are based on smart-phone context information such as location, time and historical information. Additionally, to test the effectiveness of the smart reminders in our self-reporting platform, we conducted experiments to quantitatively analyze the effectiveness of our platform.
