Abstract :
As is known to all that more and more sub-health problems have been induced by weight concerns. Due to the universality and the popularity of Android Smart Phone in the domestic and foreign markets, it is possible for us to develop a real-time weight management APP software based on Android Smart phones. Working out a kind of smart insole with a wireless communication module is also necessary for the success of data transmission and data processing through the sensor in the insoles. Such a system can identify the current state of bodies´ weight and sitting posture according to the plantar pressure station and will remind the users to stand up and move around to avoid a long-term sitting. It has been pointed out that this kind of system has its own profound and practical significance for the application of Smart phones in the health management.
