Abstract :
In this paper, we report the development of a lifelog sharing system for rheumatoid arthritis patients. Our system can objectively assess patients´ condition from day to day via their smartphone use. We conducted a field experiment to investigate the feasibility of lifelog collection and sharing. The rate of patient assessment is very high. The system collects daily change in patients´ activity as influenced by the disease.
