Abstract :
Tracking and monitoring of personal activities by using wearable device can be applied in various different ways. For example, if one analyzes activity of people with dementia by using such device, then the identification of the illness and the diagnosis of the symptoms become much more efficient. In this demo, we propose the watch platform, Personal Activity Assisting & Reminding (PAAR) watch, which tracks the user´s activity and suggests various services based on the history of personal activity accumulated inside the watch. In order to realize self-awareness and self-organization concept in PAAR watch, some advanced concepts such as peer-to-peer direct communication between the watch and external devices and ultra-low power consumption schemes are designed and implemented in the proposed platform architecture.
